The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker

5.0

This book was a recommendation from a friend. I am glad I gave it a chance, although it's much longer than the books I usually read. I enjoyed being whisked away to tenements in New York, the deserts of Syria, and more.The juxtaposition of a hot.-headed Jinni and a soft, kind Golem made for good characters. The descriptions from the author were vivid. Although I don't really think I learned anything from this read, I did find it enjoyable, as well as a good push on my reading stamina. Now I know I am capable of reading 20+ hour audiobooks! Whoo-hoo!
