Book Reviews of The Gift of Asher Lev
Book Review: "Sometimes a puzzle is the only way to get to the Truth"
Summary: 4 Stars
I read this book transfixed, waiting for the resolution of the intense situation, but in the last ten or twenty pages, nothing happened, and suddenly it was over! I scratched my head, and went back to see if I missed something. I ended up reading the last 50 pages, and sure enough, I did miss something! The resolution was right there, in plain sight, but between the lines. And quite a resolution, too. It was like what the Great Rebbe said from his balcony at the beginning of the book, that sometimes the truth is too difficult to approach directly, and must be approached in riddles to prepare the seeker for the answer. A hard act for a writer to pull off, but I've been haunted ever since. Probably not for everybody.
