This book was sad at the beginning and VERY good at the end!!!!!

I did NOT like this book. You kinda want have more than judaism and sadness. Show more fun in the book. I only expect geniuses who study judaism will like this stuff. I sometimes actually do read some of this stuff, and actually like it. But this is just boring. It's nice to have facts, but still some fun. It's absolutely fine to have joy when you write books. Just remember it's not all about facts, or fun. You should have a variety of things, not just those, but in the middle, too. Bring life to the book. Bring the heart you have to what you are writing. I hope saying this is bad isn't a insult to Jane Kurtz (the author). I'm not trying to be mean.It just seems like she doesn't have much experience. I am sure she could grow to be an awesome author, but those things take take time. You can't magically have a talent for something. Well, you always have the talent, but for you to see that incredible talent you must work. Work hard. But still remember to have that joy. Not just in the book, but you must be joyful. I hope to see much better books by Jane Kurtz. Jane Kurtz does have the talent. This book shows it. It just hasn't fully developed yet. Well, actually a talent can never be fully developed. According to me, you can always learn new things about your talent. But Jane Kurtz isn't close enough. But she is a very artistic author.

i liked this book because it was always entertaining

I was very surprised by this book. I learned a lot about history and gained a new understanding and respect for Ethiopian Jews and other Ethiopian minorities.

Best book ever! I could not put this book down! Loved it so much! It really makes you feel grateful for what you have!
