    			  My nine-year-old received this book for Christmas from her stepmom's family, and has read it twice. After hearing her description of the story, I felt like I should read it. It is an easy read with some difficult realities. Evans uses his skill to uplift and inform in an engaging story that reminds me how good I have it and to always find ways to help others. I haven't cried while reading a book for quite some time, but I had to remove my glasses and put down the book at some points. Although I might not normally recommend it for a child due to intense themse, there is nothing in the writing that is offensive in any way.

    			<br/>
    			



          
    			  This book became more and more difficult to put down as I got wrapped up in each character. Lahiri's writing style flows, almost melodically, with many fascinating paradoxes and twists. She has a way of making tragedy beautiful, though I was hoping for more redemption at times. I came out of this compilation of stories wanting to read more of her works, and will begin 'Interpreter of Maladies' next.
