I thought East Side Story was an enthralling masterpiece. The author gives astonishing details about life in the early 1900's. When she describes the working conditions in the factory, you can see the supervisor shoving Rachel into a crate. The book had a remarkable storyline telling what events Rachel experienced. Because it was realistic, a reader can relate to Rachel's story. In conclusion, East Side Story was a fantastic read.

East Side Story was astonishing because some of the parts were shocking, like when Leah got arrested during the strike. The story had an unexpected ending because Antonio was going to leave his friend and go to Brooklyn. Also, it was surprising when Rachel stood up for herself to her father about peddling. Another exciting event was when the bullies tried to rob Rachel. Because of these reasons, the story got my attention and kept me wanting to read more.

I think that East Side Story was way too predictable! It was so obvious that Leah was going to be part of the Union. Also, I knew that Rachel would invite Antonio to Friday night Sabbath, The part in the ally with the bullies was expected. In conclusion, I knew what was going to happen throughout the book.
