Helpful Score: 2

First of all, I'm not jewish and I love the film noir, hard boiled detective genre. It's a challenging read for anybody who is not really familiar with jewish culture/history.....think of this book as a jewish version of "The Big Sleep"...lots of questions and a very complicated, multi leveled plot, and lots of yiddish slang set in an alternate history. The setting is also very atomspheric, although I will concede that readers unfamiliar with jewish humor/culture will get left out.
