very entertaining book

Similarities to Da Vinci Code do exist in this book, however, the plot is much lighter - despite what it says on the jacket cover. Instead of an inside tour through Catholicism, we have an inside tour through Hasidic life, which I found fascinating. The plot was woven enough that the ending was a bit of a surprise, although one knew with all the pointing of fingers, that the ending would not be what was expected. Character development was good. I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to other books by the author.

Jewish Mysticism Unleashed

This was an exciting, intelligent thriller. My response to the many negative reviewers is that a prior knowledge of Jewish mysticism helps understand the premise of the novel. Having studied Jewish mysticism, I found the plot extremely plausible, and therefore much more frightening. I loved this book because I couldn't put it down, but also because of its unique premise. It also came across as very authentic, right down to the Yiddish words and phrases. A great, fun, enlightening reading experience.

Excellent, fun, and difficult to put down

After picking this book up on a whim, I found it to be interesting, well written, and fun. It moves along as quickly as a Dan Brown or Clive Cussler mystery/adventure. There's enough description of real places and things that as you read, you learn a few things along the way. Between the characters and all the action, this is one of those books that's hard to put down.

loved it

I loved this book to the extent of recommending it to friends and a book club. Very intriguing.

good beach read

I really enjoyed this. I am sorry butI do have to compare it the the DaVinci Code. I like learning about the 36 righteous men. It held my interest to the end. It gave me something to read and I wondered what would happen next. I rarely read these kind of books. I usually read women's fiction. But, I like the delving into the kabbalah and the righteous men. Something I don't know anything about. Maybe, because I am jewish it held my interest. And you never hear anything about the ultraorthodox(Chabad).
