This book was the winner of the 1985 National Book Award and I understand why. I found this book magical and I am now a new E.L. Doctorow fan. In fact, I've ordered 3 more of his novels through PaperBackSwap and they are on there way...I can't wait to start them.
Some reviews suggest that this book is probably a bit of a memoir. Every review raves about it. The following is a brief editorial review:
"The astonishing novel of a young boy's life in the New York City of the 1930s, a stunning recreation of the sights, sounds, aromas and emotions of a time when the streets were safe, families stuck together through thick and thin, and all the promises of a generation culminate in a single great World's Fair..."
If you haven't read this, then you are in for a literary treat.
