Helpful Score: 1
I'm giving this book 4 stars instead of 5, because the inconsistent tone kept me from loving it. What starts out as a hilarious combination of bad ESL and the quirky history of a small Ukranian Jewish settlement, turns into a dark, dark chapter from history mixed with modern family angst.
This isn't just a comic-tragedy. While there is essentially no darkness in the beginning of the book, there is absolutely no light left in the end. Other than the unifying storyline, it felt like two different books.
