Very well written. Might be because I am male shul going chess player.<br />You have to take the book within its own parameters. The bad-guy charedim sadly reflects some recent activity in that sphere (the Rabbi Tropper tapes, sakes of bodyt parts, the bochrim being duped into taking drugs to Japan). But the majority of religious folk come across OK.Borehamwood Chesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722081027328736303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-23388974814282944282009-12-21T04:50:00.688+02:002009-12-21T04:50:00.688+02:00Kateland, I'm so glad that you've confirme...Kateland, I'm so glad that you've confirmed my feelings on it. Maybe your description of "boring" is why I took so long to finish it. The Connely book went too quickly. I could read his books day and night, and I even had it by the computer waiting for the screen to change. We have a very slow computer.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-73672549904850883072009-12-21T00:27:48.005+02:002009-12-21T00:27:48.005+02:00I am so glad I am not the only one who wasn't ...I am so glad I am not the only one who wasn't impressed with the YPU. I have tried to read the YPU but I have spent the last two years with 50 pages to go. I found the book frustrating to read. It went from boring to compelling to dead boring. Nor can I quite shake the feeling it won't end well which is why I haven't finished.Katelandhttp://www.lastexiled.comnoreply@blogger.com
