It pains me to cut ties with this book, but what I don’t understand is how a rattling narrative of a girl’s life, with the tone of an 8th grade ENG assignment, is so beloved.
As a historic doc it may hold some value, you get a view of what growing up in Brooklyn in the early 1900s was like. Beyond that, no dice. Simplistic writing style. Flat characters.
For a good laugh, read the 1 star reviews!
