I did think that I probably chose a weaker Chabon work to test him out, which is why I’m all for giving K&C a shot. Since I already own it, I’m sure it will be the next one of his I read. I am sure I’ll like it a good deal more than The Final Solution… here’s hoping!

I liked Final Solution, but it isn’t one of his best. K & C is long, but worth it. Better places to start would be Wonder Boys or Yiddish Policeman’s Union, which several people in my book group have read and enjoyed.

I have this one sitting in my TBR stack… I have heard such good things about it, but I admit the length intimidates me. Also, I read my first Chabon this year, the novella “The Final Solution”, which I found really underwhelming and blah. So now I’m doubly nervous!
