Review of My Promised Land January 1st, 2019 My Promised Land Ari Shavat 2.5 out of 5 A 2.5/5 means: Poor. Below the bar. Excessive flaws cast a shadow over what may otherwise be enjoyable or have artistic merit. Not worth rereading except for comfort or nostalgia. Recommendable only to those with a strong interest in its topic. by Maxwell Joslyn See all book reviews.
