A Guide for the Perplexed by Dara HornMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I did not "get" this book at all. It was a free PJ Library book, and I chose it from a few options. It was about a famous computer genius who gets kidnapped in Egypt, and a parallel story about a scholar in Egypt (100 years earlier) looking for ancient manuscripts purported to be written by famous Jewish scholar Moses Maimonedes. I didn't care enough about any of the characters to propel me through the book. And the technological tie-ins were not that interesting, neither was the parallelism of the stories. All in all, not a good read.
