I didn't actually read this book, I listened to it as an Audio-Book, and I think I liked it better for the listening. Perhaps I would have got a little lost at times, trying to read through the twists and turns that this amazing story took me. To follow the path of the Haggadah, an ancient Jewish religious book, back in time to it's creation and it's journey through time to the present day, was a sort of a book/paper/people forensic story, and it had me totally hooked. The book is based on the actual finding of a similar book in Sarajevo in the 1990's.
