3.5
I loved the wholly Jewish aspect of this book and the fact that it took place with a road trip setting. From the on page Yiddish to the Golem itself, it was cool to see that while reading. I also loved the humor. This book definitely had me laughing out loud at points and the different references fit so well into the story. That being said, I did have some problems with the pacing. Sometimes the story felt like it was lacking something and then it felt like an overload of information at other points. I also felt like the ending was more abrupt than I would have liked. Buts and pieces felt random and I lost track of what was supposed to be happening. Overall, it was a quick read and I enjoyed this one.
