I quite like the women-oriented commentaries, although I do wish that the commentaries had better citations, as I never know who actually said what when I read them, and it would be helpful to know in order to find out in what exact years the particular commentator lived (as with Rashi, ibn Ezra, Soforno, etc).
Obviously I will never be entirely finished with reading this sefer, but I do not need to have it up continually on my goodreads book shelf.
I must say that in comparing the show more translations in this Chumash against the translations in the JPS and the Artscroll, I tend to find the translation in this Women's version clearer and more readable (as well as in context). show less
