I do think the book would have benefitted from some summary or general analysis at the end. Rabbi Salkin describes the final righteous gentile, and then there is no epilogue or conclusion, the book is over. Perhaps he took sermons he gave on various Torah portions and Bible stories and turned them into this book. ( )
