Book Reviews of The Saturday Wife
Book Review: It's Hilliarous
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished Saturday Wife and thought it was quite a hilarious satire. I hope Woodmere and Cedarhurst ladies have a sense of humor! : )lol
PS. I was kind of upset Naomi left out Hillcrest Queens(my home). I would loved it. Also, some of this is so true-its scary.
Book Review: A superb book writen by a woman to women
Summary: 5 Stars
last night I finished reading the book - The Saturday Wife...
It is nice. Very well written, funny, raising the curiosity for the next chapter... A lot of information for converts and some of ours...
Being from a Babylonian heritage growing in Israel, had little difficulty in the "English" pronunciation of the Hebrew words in Ashkenazi (vuz vuz accent) :-D :-D
Yes. My Yeddish vocabulary was sufficient to understand it all...
It is a book written by a woman (a very good one of ours) for women, exploring the eternal temptations of the young and the restless...
My present wife is going to read it too. She is 1/2 a convert. No kosher kitchen, No "trifa" of any kind. No Cheese on the meat, but follow the tradition... It will very much enhance her knowledge in our heritage... I recommend it to the "mixed" couples as a text book too...
Thank you Naomi. This is from me and from many others to you, that they just smile reading it and go to their next chores...
I shall spread the word more about it...

Book Review: Funniest Naomi Ragen book yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a bit of a shift from the last few books, but only in the sense that it is much much funnier. It's a perfect read- funny, moving, entertaining, and the pages just keep turning! Moreover, to anyone who's familiar with this world- every single word will ring true. I promise you will never forget the lead character Delilah. I loved it!Book Review: Naomi's done it again!
Summary: 5 Stars
The heralding of a new Naomi Ragen novel is always cause for celebration, and this latest offering from Ms. Ragen does not disappoint. Though satire is not something we're used to from Naomi she captures aspects of modern Orthodox life in America in a terrific "tongue in cheek" way, and also subtlely imparts lessons and wisdom. A working knowledge of Judaism in general, and modern Orthodoxy in particular, may be helpful, but all in all, this is a great read that I for one, read in one sitting. My advice to Sabbath observers - buy it now, but save it for Shabbos!
Way to go, Naomi! Thanks again!
Book Review: This deserves more than 5 stars! It's a great read . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
I preordered SATURDAY WIFE and wanted to save it for the weekend. However, when it arrived on Wednesday (I didn't expect it until tomorrow - Monday), I thought I'd just read a little. I couldn't put it down. It was such fun to read. Now I have to wait for Naomi Ragen to write another wonderful story. She can't write 'em soon enough or often enough for me! I've read all her books and love them all. Thank you Amazon for sending me this pre-ordered book so quickly. I wait so patiently for good books to arrive and this one came none too soon!
Shalom,
