I’m a Jew and it didn’t offend me at all, since Martin was showing the anti Semitism the heroine faced.

@Jia:

I feel an alarming urge to start singing that Vengaboys song.

Happiness is just around the corner! But then again, @Lori:

As a Jew, seeing the heroine called a kike was too much for me to get past.

that makes me, also a Jew, very unhappy. No Vengaboys party bus for you!

I gave up on Martin after Chasing Stanley, the only book ever to make me write a scathing review, something I never ever thought I’d do. As a Jew, seeing the heroine called a kike was too much for me to get past. Sorry. No more Blades books for me.

Read both of these books, and pretty much agree with you as well.

Can’t say I like the themes of the books, but as always, love the Haiku!
