review 1: Jerry Borrowman is perhaps one of my favorite authors. This book is really a kind of Depression-era "Oliver Twist." I'm not a huge car person and so during various parts of the book where the author delves into the cars of the time, I started to skim a bit. However, the story is very powerful. I don't often tear up while reading books but this book was definitely an exception. An excellent book.
review 2: I loved this book. It was set in the very late 1920's. The depression was going on and as an orphan Artie Call steals food to survive. He goes from one trouble to another. He is taken in by a family who are not too kind to him. He is blackmailed by other crooks and almost goes to detention Center. Finally he is saved by a widow who he with others h... moreave tried to rob. She really loves him and does a lot for him. Also, her chauffeur plays a big part in him going straight. There is some suspense, humor and sadness. In the end it shows what kindness can do to change a person. less
