Title: This ain't a Jewel
Review: Does not really stand out in comparison to other "memoirs" out there now. What made this pretty much bearable- the storyline was quite dull itself- was the humor. The author portrayed herself as a sarcastic little thing, with one liners that killed. The most memorable was when her family had to be checked and made sure they were Jews, as they claimed to be, by their rescuers. Her grandmother (I assume was in her late 80s) suffered from Asthma, could hardly move, and was nearly blind yet was accused of being a spy of some sorts. That isn't supposed to be funny under any circumstances, but the way the author worded it was hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. Which is odd contrasting against the wars and hardships she had to face.
