I spent a lot of time researching this author before agreeing to read the book, but I did expect it to be more critical of the state of Israel.
I initially gave this a 3, but after discussing it at book club I have increased it to 3.5 .
The book was incredibly uncomfortable to read, but that is exactly the point - the author has us feeling the second hand embarrassment of watching a man fall apart. And soon I was so hooked into the mystery owho was dead that I couldn't have put it down. So whilst I didn't 'enjoy' reading it, it is a great book.
For me this book is about the guilt of loosing a parent
