The book seems like a rather interesting read. According to the reviews, this book has a lot of originality and really draws the readers attention. The book is regarded as a national bestseller and there are nothing but good words to say about this book so I think I would be very intrigued by this book. I am very interested in this book because it is about a story of a family moving to New York City because their father's part in a plot against a cruel dictator forces them to move out of their homeland. I can't imagine moving to a different country and starting all over again. The thought of moving right away and leaving all my friends behind is quite terrifying but at the same time I would feel excited. I always wanted to move to a different country but in the perspective of these girls, I think it would be terrible because they are being forced to move as a result of the oppresion of their cruel dictator. The cover is quite odd because it shows a picture of a woman's legs wearing red shoes. I personally think that this is the cover because it exemplifies a girl assimilating to the culture in New York. Her fashion is similar to that of the people in New York in today's society. I would like to read this book to its full extent because one day I am thinking of moving to a different country temporarily to experience different things and I want to see if my feelings at a new place would be the same as the girl's feelings. The book starts out like any ordinary book in the aspect that it is just about a family living their lives. But after reading the paragraph on the book of the book there are definitely more things to come.
