Title: Bizzare Tower of "Babble"
Review: I was a Religion Major in college, and I lived in Israel for a year and a half, and I STILL don't get this book, so if I don't, I have no idea who does. Mr. Stone's portrait of Israel was bizarre, and while I understand everyone has a different experience there, his was completely unrealistic- I question how much time he has actually spent there, as he seems to have no grasp on daily life in Israel or Israelis in general. As another reader indicated, he seems to have gotten most of his information from a travel guide. As for the religion aspect, I could barely follow it, and I studied religion. And the characters? I could have cared less. In fact, I did- I couldn't even finish the book. The professional reviewers were obviously too embarassed to admit that they didn't get it either. Don't waste your time.
