The Worst Book I Ever Read,
By beebopnjazz (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Growing Up Italian American: Memories-Customs-Heritage (Paperback)
This book lacks substance and has numerous typographical errors in it. I was extremely disappointed, as most books regarding Italian-Americans I have found to be, at the very least, entertaining.

Growing Up Italian American,

This review is from: Growing Up Italian American: Memories-Customs-Heritage (Paperback)
A wonderful look into growing up in the Italian community in Buffalo, NY. It brings tears to your eyes and a smile on your face. I would recommend this book to anyone who want insight in to the Italian psyche.
Terrific !!
