Please take time to read the book.

It is a delightful saga of a typical Jewish family, whose lives are intertwined in a nostalgic and humourous fashion by Neil Simon.

To describe the setting would be to go back to that period in the thirties and to a house and street where people of lower middle class lived. A Jewish household then, as it is now was dominated by the father, whose word was law and as well to a mother who ran the household with thrift and love that so characterized the text-book definition of a "jewish mother".

A young teen-age boy, with an older brother and an older aunt lving with his parents and experiencing those hormone urges that all young men endure is the setting for the play.

How the author brings alive the every day situations is the theme of the play.

It is a classic and well deserving of a good read from you even if it means giving up some other activities.

Learn to read fast.Its done by skimming your eyes across the page. Beleive it or not you can still get the meaning of a sentence without ACYTUALLY looking at each word.

Practice this method. It is called SPEED READING.

Many ofus learned to do it just like you in school. I did and was able to go through a full book in an hoiur or so and NOT miss much of the plot.

Good luck.
