With all the hype and publicity this book generated I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. I think we may be in James Frey land here.Deborah Feldman's narrative has been challenged by many who know her, and although some (though not all) of the challenges may arguably fall into the realm of "he said she said," there is enough here to render her memoir dubious at best. Secondly, I felt she wrote this book prematurely. Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of my Hasidic Roots. I am so excited to read what comes next from her. Did she ever get to the bottom of her husband's infidelity? This memoir exposed the myriad traditions followed by the secretive sect. The real problem is if you've read one I-escaped-ultra-Orthodox-Judaism book, you've kind of read them all. Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots [Feldman, Deborah] on Amazon.com. So, y'know, judge away.“Unorthodox” is an authentic, gripping narrative of the author’s experiences growing up in an oppressive religious Hasidic community, and of how she courageously walked away from that community to provide a better life for herself and her child.“Unorthodox” is an authentic, gripping narrative of the author’s experiences growing up in an oppressive religious Hasidic community, and of how she courageously walked away from that community to provide a better life for herself and her child.I read this book because I thought I would be able to relate to Ms. Feldman. As much as I loved reading this book, I took my time reading it, because I didn't want it to end. Full disclosure, Deborah is one of my best friends.

Its very personal to the author --and for that I do respect THEM...2.5 Stars.....'maybe' 3 Stars (only because I never know how to 'rate' a book when a person is writing THEIR story). I believe that her desire to know more her desire to read. That desire was a fountain of information for her and also a momentary escape from her troubles.This book felt deeply insincere and in an odd way, pardon the pun, unobservant—as if the writer did not deign it her job to pay attention to what is going on.

It seems almost as if Ms Feldman is using her memoir to attack her former community and unfortunately, I felt like this discredited her a bit. Deborah has been through so much at such a young age yet she is a wise old soul, makes for a breath taking read.
