took me a while to read 'cause i didn't want to finish it too quick since it was for a book discussion. being born at the end of the 80's and not anywhere near the 50's this book was a deep look into history for me. which i love history, and it's interesting to learn about how life was back then especially for a child. from how much things cost, to the jobs, and the things you could easly get away with. it was a fun and funny read. it will be fun discussing this book this month.
