A hopeful yet realistic account of growing up in Brooklyn in the early 1900's. It was very interesting to see how the advent of technologies we use every day now (cars, phones, radios) changed people's lives when it first came out. I love how the protagonist had such a love for learning, and also such devotion to her family. Sending kids to school used to be a sacrifice!

This is a great book. I really like the realtionship that Rose has with Dimitri, and her attitude. I read it in all my spare time, and tell my friends about it. My Mom read it too, but she didn't like it that much. But me, being a young teenager, I absoutely loved it. Not as much as the Host, but it was still a great book to read. It has fantasy, romance, and action. Great book overall.
