Technically, I listened to this book. Recently, I have found that I don't enjoying listening to books as much as I once did. I can read faster than I can listen. So, with this book, as with many others that I've listened to, I felt that there were a number of places that I just wanted to move through. That the characters took a long time getting around to saying what they were going to say. At the same time, this was a really beautifully written story, and I surprised myself by being moved to tears in the final scene with Danny, Reuven, and Danny's father.

I was going to give this book 3 stars (I enjoyed the story but it did not move me the way 'My name is Asher Lev' did), but then I read Reb Saunders final speech, and I was crying. That bumped it up to 4 stars for me. Very interesting and beautiful story.
