The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon
1.0
I gave this book my best shot. I wanted to like it. I expected to like it. I consider myself an educated person who won't baulk at a book because it has a smattering of foreign words mixed in. However, this book proved me wrong. I just couldn't get past the massive amounts of Yiddish scattered throughout the storyline to see the actual story. I tried. I really did.
Aside from the Yiddish, it's just a really depressing book. Life is short and I've only got another 50 years of reading left (if I'm lucky.) I can't afford to waste my time force feeding myself a book that I dislike so much.
