Summary: Love to hate lawyers?
Comment: Love to hate lawyers? Here's one you'll love and...well, be exasperated by. Lawyer Farbman makes all the wrong moves and trusts all the wrong people in this hip, funny, and ultimately inspiring novel. To author and lawyer Donald Friedman, nothing is sacred: he skewers the usual suspects and then some--Jews, shiksas, lawyers, mobsters, bankers, partners, wives, girlfriends, the lame and the halt--as he sends his protagonist on a fast-paced trajectory to hell. A modern day Job, Farbman teaches us the value of living simply if only by being an example of someone who can't.

Summary: Returning.
Comment: Farbman is a smart lawyer with successful parents, a brotherly partner, a beautiful wife, two perfect children and a good friend. His saga begins at a meeting with a Rabbi that gives him to insight into the emptiness of his success, and a hint a what is needed to turn things around. Contrary to appearances, his marriage is failing, his law practice is venal, he has no relationship with his parents or his children and his friendships will collapse. He realizes his life lacks meaning but he can't make the turn until his wife get's so sick that he is really needed. It looks as if purpose will serve a cure, but Donald Friedman is too smart for a simple story. Just when we expect him to be rewarded for his responsive behavior to his wife and children, Farbman's life crumbles from bonuses to boils. Donald Friedman has written a very important book in the guise of a funny and high paced melodrama. The book is about "Teshuva". It takes a book this good to explain that Teshuva is the "turn", or more accurately the "return", anyone seeking a spiritual connection in their life must make. Ultimately, it isn't fun; it's deadly serious. The wonderful thing about this book is that Friedman makes us laugh while he teaches us the theological formula for a sucessful life.

Summary: Hand Before The Eye
Comment: This book kisses you and holds you, makes you cry and makes you laugh but mostly it offers hope. It is a journey through human emotion and ancient philosophies that tie us into a bow of dreams and wishes for a good life on this good earth. God bless the author, and may he continue to write these stories we love to live.
