A review by sunrays118
The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon

1.0

The book is overwritten. The author is so caught up in his own love for himself and his style that he neglects the story. The prose is so overdone, overstated that it is impossible to read this book like a novel. The reader instead is forced to concentrate on the syntax, the word choice, the prolonged and tortured similies. There is no room left for character development or plot. This book was a huge miss for me. I found myself not following the story, not caring about the characters, and being bored silly by the author's writing.

Disappointing.
