5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest, March 21, 1998

This review is from: The Tsaddik of the seven wonders (Doubleday science fiction) (Hardcover)

There are few books that are really worse reading 10 times. Even the greatest writers such as Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide) have only some of their works to this level. This is a very good reading, especially if you have any knowledge about Jewish customs. "Men in Black" Vs. Jewish Tradition? This *must* be hillarious! Shame it is out of print...

5.0 out of 5 stars overlooked classic, April 8, 2008

(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Tsaddik of the seven wonders (Paperback)

An overlooked, out of print, comedic fantasy classic, just like John Bellairs' The Face in the Frost (except the plot is completely different). The tsaddik wanders around through time & space, while a wisecracking Retief/James Bond sort of figure from a galactic bureaucracy accidentally rescues a Polish princess. Eventually they all meet to fight an intergalactic real estate conspiracy, culminating in a climactic battle between hordes of demons & time-hopping Chassidim in a Polish castle. 60s psychedelia meets Yiddish humour. Should be back in print!!
