Was this a good book?
I've been wanting to read it but I'm not sure if it is a good read or not.

If you have not read it, do not answer. the 2 points are not that big of a deal.

Answer 1

Well, I liked it a lot - but that's no guarantee that you will. I'd call The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green a funny, heart-twisting story about a Jewish adolescent living under the oppressive regime of an emotionally abusive father. A quick, sometimes breezy read, it's not without some flaws. But Braff ultimately overcomes them with wry humor, assured prose and a keen sensitivity to the emotional minefields of familial relationships.
The middle child in a screamingly dysfunctional suburban New Jersey family, Jacob has an active imagination and a learning disability that causes myriad misspellings in bar mitzvah thank-you notes. It provokes the perpetual disapproval of his nit-picking father.
Abram, the Green patriarch, ceaselessly demeans Jacob, literally tearing the hair from his scalp when the eager-to-please boy makes the smallest error. Jacob seeks solace in "the game of the Unthinkable," the imagined moments in which he breaks free of his sadistic father or explores his unbridled lust for the Greens' live-in nanny.
By the way, the author's the older brother of Zach Braff, of "Scrubs" fame.
