Customer Reviews

This book should get a prize.

I got a copy of this book from a friend. The same copy has now been passed to four different people. We all read it and we all loved it. I was appointed to do this review by my wife (who is Jewish), and by my two friends (one of whom is Jewish). Yes -it is a truly great book - and fun to read too. I can't say enough! This guy (Heinze) has really pulled it off, and I can't figure out how he did it. I have now sent my (dogeared) copy to my old Jewish studies prof. who requested me to mail it to him. I was a history major in college (a great school too). This book is amazing. My wife wants me to put in more details, but I will let her write her own review.
