A review by gingerliss
The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon

3.0

I had a love hate relationship with this book, but I think it was just not the right time to read it. It was my book for pleasure next to a bunch of books I had to read for uni. It wasn't really light enough to function that way though. Still, I have to say, I definitely like Chabon's writing in the novel, it has gotten me very interested into reading more of his work. The story was a little to heavy and complicated for light reading and it took me a long time to read next to all he other stuff I've been reading. The story didn't manage to pull me in enough and I had to fight my way through at times. But at other times I really enjoyed both the story and the way it was written. I think probably just not the right book at the right time, but all in all it was actually a good book.
