very dense at times made me put my other books aside.
This book is funny, vivid and is pretty realistic ( except for the dragon of course ). it vividly describes the scrappy life of a Jewish immigrant family in the Lower East Side in New York in the late 1800's. i really enjoyed how Ms. Finkelstien went 'AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!' when she saw the dragon! definitely get this book!
I liked the book up until the end but the book is worth reading but just know that the end is sort of confusing.
