Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Pete Hamill's writing is a joy to read. Sometimes you need to read a book where there is a happy ending. His descriptions of New York City during the Depression actually outshine his characters and his charaters are really portrayed magnificantly, especially his main characters. This is a good read, no high brow stuff here, meat and potatoes love story New York style. But it is a love story of many people on different levels, not just two people in love. This is one of the few books I read as I was reading it there was an actual picture in my mind of what was going on. Many books you read you would rather not have a picture of the action. Again no great revelations here but a heart warming love story, on many different levels. Read it.
