I thought this book was very interesting. I learned a LOT about ultra conservative Judaism. The book reads like fiction and is just fascinating. You could tell the author really wanted to show both sides of the controversy with compassion. I do wish that I had written some of the Hebrew words down with their definitions because while the author is great about defining them the first time around, he doesn't always redefine them later and sometimes I found myself trying to remember what a word meant. Overall, a really interesting look into a fascinating clash of cultures in rural Iowa.
