Growing up in NJ during the 1980's and 90's I recall hearing the news about the incident in Crown Heights. I have some experience with Lubavitch in a community that I worked security in which was a mix with blacks. There was quite some conflict. It was a class of cultures.

[The World Outside] by [Eva Wiseman] was simply written but at times seemed to be like an after school special plot. It seems to be written for a specific community who can not read it. I would have liked to see more about the external conflict mixed with the internal conflict. Given the setting I feel this should have played a bigger role and given those not familiar with the history more background.

It's Fine, But Could Have Been More
Let's be clear: I really wanted this movie to be good. The cast is awesokme, and the original Oceans movies were great. But the plot just falls short. There is no major conflict, and no intensity at all. If it were a Greek plot line, it would be a line. No rising action, no climax.

Is it worth seeing once? Sure! Is it worth paying a bunch of money for, probably not.

A great mix of conflict, friendship and love in very trying times. This book had me both laughing and sobbing. Mostly sobbing. A beautifully written novel set in one of humanity's darkest hours. (0 more)
