Negative Positive
Title: a typical Sunfire book
Review: This book had countless flaws, including historical inaccuracy, but I think the most notable one is that the conflict in this book is supposed to be Rachel, the main character, choosing between being an American and a Jew. It briefly sketches what Rachel would gain by being an American, but not once does it mention anything about being a Jew or what she would be giving up by turning her back on her heritage (which, I might add, she does)! What kind of book does not explore the main problem? I also did not care for the assumption that you cannot be an American Jew--you have to choose one or the other. Having Orthodox Jewish American friends, I know for a fact that this is far from true. Also, I actually prefer a main character who has a personality. Rachel was formulated and predictable--your typical Sunfire book.
