Title: learned but dull
Review: This densely written book gives the patient reader a few of the same insights that one can get from a good Chumash (Torah w/commentary) such as the Artscroll Chumash or the Conservatives' Etz Chaim-- so I would not say it is completely worthless. The difference is that a Chumash is pithier and more clearly written than this book. When I read the Torah portion every week, I sometimes can't put it down (especially in Genesis). By contrast, I found it impossible to keep plowing through this learned but dull, dull, dull tome.
Is the review positive or negative?
