Fun

Moving

The writing was rather plain. I would have liked some more in-depth analysis. If everything Netanyahu says is true, than he is truly a great man.

Usual excellent writing. A little too much internal drama and too much unneeded profanity.

Interesting view of the early days of Israel

Well done, but I didn't care for the artist's style

Would have given this 5 stars, but it's too long and the last chapter on the history of Economics is not very readable.

Same good quality as the rest of the series

Bright, lively and full of insight. Even though it's a short book, R. Fohrman sometimes sermonizes a little too much.

Terrible. All of the characters, particularly the protagonist, are unlikable and unsympathetic. This book is filled with cliches.

Not the best entry in the series but still fun.

Lots of interesting tidbits about Hebrew, Bible, Jewish culture. A little too cutesy at times.

It's raining cold hard facts in this book. A political book that's informative, mind-opening and fun to read. My favorite phrase is “...can be explained by...”. Great to have someone offer real-world explanations of things we all see.

A nice guide to How Things Work, Urban Division.

Not very interesting or well-written

The writing is good but it's wayyy too long.

The ending did not live up to the promise of the book. Good vocabulary, though.

Not what I was expecting -Dox's origin story. Eisler is a good writer.

I listened to the audiobook. The narrator clearly does not know Hebrew.

Fun reading that will enhance your ability to write and read. The chapter on versification alone is worth the price of admission. One caveat - the second half of the book is different from the first half; particularly, I wondered why the author didn't bother to explain and sound out the rhetorical terms in the beginning, as he does in the end.

Fun

Excellent. Very well-written, concise, informative.

Typically dense Denny work. No idea why he had to point out that all the rocket pioneers were white men - who cares? Does identity politics have to intrude even here?

Interesting book with pluses and minuses. Plus: new information f0r me on Houdini's Jewishness and antisemitic reactions to him. Use of different sources on familiar topics. Minus: the author doesn't seem to like Houdini and it shows; the timelines of the two men are often unclear; some really dumb statements; and the usual “I can't help putting my Lefty views in a totally unrelated text, such as references to Margaret Thatcher and Abu Ghraib.

Exhausting but with some good insights.
