The book of Lamentations is often perceived as a difficult book to read and study. The emphasis of this commentary is on providing information to help the reader determine what the real meaning of the text might be, rather than on providing easy answers.

Really quite good and very helpful while being succinct. Hard to do in a commentary! I'd rank this just below Berlin's commentary, but really top notch.
