I wanna go thank my Professor for assigning this !!!!!!!!, 08 Jan 1999
This is one of those books I read as a class reading assignment, so I felt "forced". But as I read it, I realized I was 5 sessions ahead of the class. It's a book you cannot put down. This is a book that shows us what it means to work your way to the top, to have will and determination to make something of yourself, and to pursue your goals. It makes us appreciate the wise ways of the past generation, although they may not always be favorable ways today !! It is a book I will never forget !! Please get a copy NOW !!!

This wonderful book gives motivation about school., 15 Dec 1998
My comment on this book is Sara stood up for what she belived. My heart broke whan I read this book.I emagined being raised in to a family like this. Their father is the most horble person. It is sad that the mother soffered until her last breath. The stepmather is worst then the father. I like the way there let the father taste his own madicine. I am glad Sara finished her education. She wanted to be a teacher and she did it.It reminded me some of my own struggle for education in the US.

This story is very interesting, because I learned a lot., 15 Dec 1998
I like this story very much. It reminds me of emmigrants that come to this country. Also reminds me about my sisters. It's very interesting because I learned a lot about emmigrants. I think that this book can motive many people in this country. Sara tried hard to become what she wanted. At the end when her mother died, she was sad because the last days she wasn't with her.When I read this story, it reminded me of my mother, that she is too old and I am far from her. I didn't like the father because he was thinking only about money. Sara was working hard in this country, and finally she found a man to love her and she was happy.

I like this book because it was interesting., 15 Dec 1998
I like this novel story because, Sara Smolinsky represents hopes of many immigrants, who came to America.It was hard at that time to survive in the new world, but Sara shows us, that we can build up ideas by ourselfs,and be whatever we want to be. I like the way she respects her father because she understood in the end that he was raised in the past century.
