A review by manuphoto
The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon
3.0
It’s really a 3.5 for me but Goodreads doesn’t allow that, so 3 it is. I like the setup, the characters and the story globally. This novel has great dialogues, very funny moments and is original.
The problem comes from the writing. Michael Chabon is a very good writer, but he knows it a bit too much. He abuses of his own quality as a writer and goes on and on. Some passages are pace-killers for the book, in my opinion. It’s too bad, because otherwise I really liked it and it would have gotten 4 stars easily.
