This was not bad. I appreciate the style and content and my goodness there were some expert moments (peek the chapter on synagogues). However, I do not think appreciation is akin to enjoyment in this case.
I mean this with no ill intent and I understand Brett is understanding of the sort of character (of herself) whose perspective she writes from. Unfortunately, I find her quite unlikeable. It had a Woody Allen vibe which I don’t think is my target audience. Again - not bad, just a bit too much to ‘enjoy’.
Sections of this I found interesting and even enticing. The rest was just mediocre to me.
