Download The Shiksa Syndrome Audiobook

" I didn't finish this book. The assumption that a shiksa like me would know no jewish/yiddish words or meanings was a little insulting. "

" Good for a quick chic-lit book. Learned something new despite having worked at a JCC for a couple years. Read for a book club, interested to discuss and see how true to life it is. "

" easy read. cute, although i had a hard time sympathizing with the main character. "

" I read The Rabbi's Daughter for my book club but though I learned alot about, I did not relate to it at all. I search for a book my about the type of Judaism that I practice. After searching, my librarian recommended this book. I enjoyed it. Very interesting to see what a woman would do to get a jewish man. However, when I thought about it, I don't know that I could have put up with the charade as long as Aimee did. I would recommend this to anyone who is having trouble finding a Jewish man, since there seem to be many out there with Shiksa syndrome. "

" This was a great book...very funny, yet poignant as well as it depicts the struggle of a single Jewish woman trying to find the right man. She sees how non Jewish women snatch all the available Jewish single men and decides the only way to catch a Jewish man is to pretend to be a shiksa. The charade takes her on an unexpected journey and the interaction with her friends and family is portrayed realistically. At times very funny and other times sad, I totally related to the characters and events that the author described. A great quick read. Loved it!! "

" I know, this book is embarrassing. No need to judge me -- I'm judging myself enough for the both of us. "

" Fun but predictable. Could be offensive to some. Religion is to each his own. "

" Did not really like this book. It felt like it was quickly slapped together with little or no thought. "

" Just a light easy read. It was entertaining mostly due to eerie parallels in my own life. "

" fun to read, if you can relate, gave me a good chuckle. "

" Total fluff. Entertaining at times, and cool because it takes place on the Upper West Side. But, it plays to too many stereotypes. "

" Oy vey. I had a lot of problems with this book, not the least of which involved her size 6 pants being too big. Throw in my raving distate for "Jewish boyfriend" and all the shiskas and I just really didn't enjoy this book. The best part was probably the yiddish dictionary at the back. "

" Blech. Siren song of advanced reading copy completely did not pay. "

" It was great to that the glossary in the back! Cute and easy to read. "

" Fun to read, but kinda worthless...exactly what you'd expect from the title! "

" This book was hilarious! It was a great, quick read. I was amazed by all the Jewish men that wanted non-Jewish women. I was so glad it ended the way it did. Since I'm not Jewish, I enjoyed learning some of the Jewish words and the explanation of Jewish traditions. "

" A fun quick read but it definitely fed into stereotypes. "

" Although this was a bit of fluff, it was very funny had a decent story line, and will teach a goya a thing or two about Judiasm :) "

" This was my November "fun" book. I enjoyed the story, it was a good escape book! "

" This book was a quick read and was a nice palette cleanser. And see Becca and Nora-- my ratings are NOT always a 5! "

" Funny, laugh out loud book. "

" Modern Jewish fiction! Who knew? "

" way too long, really not that entertaining. not highly recommended. "

" Was OK but got a little annoyed with reading about this womans lie she was leading. Ok good if you are Jewish and understand all the jewish lingo they throw in. "

" I started out loving this book, then I became frustrated with the main character and felt that the book ended very predictably. Not a bad read, just not very exciting. "

" I could definitely relate to a lot in this book. I especially connected with the idea of having a Jewish boyfriend who seemed less than tolerant of my own observances. "
