Foreskin's Lament by Shalom Auslander

4.0

I'd give this 4.5 stars. It was hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time, and it really made me hate religion. I would laugh out loud at some point and then be close to tears. And it wasn't all about foreskin--I thought it was about how Shalom Auslander wanted his foreskin back or something. I suppose it kind of was about that, but it really was a memoir of Shalom's life growing up as an Orthodox Jew in New York. Very good book!
