review 1: This is an really good book. The author does a nice job making the characters interesting with the dialogue and the narration is very good. (I listened to it on audio).The book held my attention which is difficult to do in nonfiction sometimes. I learned something about deli owners and how hard it is to run your own business. My favorite characters were the mother in law and Dwayne. I highly recommend this book especially the audio version.
review 2: This is a really fun book to read after living in Brooklyn for a while and having a local deli/bodega that you visit. The book is about a young couple, the male a WASP New Englander and his Wife a 1st Generation Korean American opening up a Deli in Beacon hill in the early 2000's and what they learned from the expe... morerience. A surprising page turner and something I enjoyed immensly. However there are parts where the main character is hard to relate too and parts where it gets a little off the rails but overall, an excellent novel. less
