> I've heard other people mention that it was anti-semitic, but I didn't feel that way when I read the book. I found the story fascinating, but I got the feeling that it was somewhat of an exageration. He claimed that all his siblings were so successful yet he alludes to one or two having children at early ages out of wedlock. There were other reasons I thought it was exxagerated, but I don't remember them beause I read the book so long ago.
Now I'm reading another VERY interesting book, which also does not paint a pretty picture of Jews- particulary religious Jews- it's called Chosen By G-d. Have you read it?

I know this book was really popular.
