Review: Ever since I spied this book in the bookstore, I was instantly drawn to a book that delved into both Jewish and Arab mythology and culture. It was a strange yet appealing combination. Sadly, I did not buy the book as soon as I bought it, but thanks to the yearly book gifting giveaway at Redd...
Star Rating: 3.5 Stars Self purchase for Kindle Originality: Very original. The story of a Golem and a Jinni in sort of modern day New York. Can’t really tell you what year its supposed to take place. It’s a bit of a slow start, but at 20% the Jinni gets boinked. HA. So, now that I’m done I...
Mrs. Wecker's Opus... There is so much I wish I could say about The Golem and the Jinni. I'm afraid I haven't the words--my ability to move my heart to my mind to the page is too puny to do justice to Helene Wecker's magically fantastic debut novel. This is my attempt.I loved the story. Equal part...
I think -- I THINK -- I may have found Marchetta's equal. I know, I know, stop gasping, don't DIE, but seriously! Wecker is darned GOOD.

What a lovely way to start my new reading year. First of all, I want to thank Jen K for this lovely book. She gave it to me as part of the Cannonball Read gift exchange, and as I was fairly sure I wasn't going to be able to do it justice when I was hurrying through books at the end of December to fi...
The Golem and the Jinni is one of those books that is difficult to review. The story is whimsical and character-driven and subtle, delicately embroidered with lush depictions of turn-of-the-century New York City. The events unravels slowly and gradually, and the vibrant characters are gradually wo...
