Reader Reviews:
Entertaining look into the Yiddish experience. (19/20 people found this helpful)
This book satisfied my craving to learn the type of world mygrandparents came from, their language and attitutes. I laughed so hard from Singers descriptions of his characters that I thought I would bust. This is a book for all to learn to appreciate a rich culture that existed in Eastern Europe and was transported to America with those remaining lost in the Holocaust. Singer has some imagination and the talent to relay his thoughts clearly that you feel that you are among the characters. The translation from Yiddish to English was well done and conveyed the message completely. A must for those who want to expand their knowledge of the roots of the Jewish people and their lives and experiences in a world lost.
