so I bought this book solely because of the bangin'n cover art. A bit of research after the fact seems promising, but I was wondering if any of you guys have read it already and could tell me wether or not I just wasted fifteen american dollars.

Do you like reading about neurotic New York Jews doing neurotic New York Jew things?

It's like a Woody Allen movie but there's no humor and it drags on for hours and hours and hours.

You, uh... you just described Woody Allen movies. I don't really understand your use of "but."

It took me a while to get into the writing style for some reason.

But other than, I'd say the characters are made nicely through the narrative and yes - the cover is bad ass.

Whoever does Chabon's covers and Jonathan Safran Foer's covers deserves lots of money. They're always great.
