Review of 'The Golem and the Jinni' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I found this book incredibly ponderous, scattered, and boring. I could not wait for my slog through it to end.
The author's writing style seemed uneven and inconsistent. As I ponder the book's many weaknesses, I believe most could have been overcome by better editing and the removal of some 150 pages. I gave the book 3 stars because its premise was good; its execution is poor.
