Customer Reviews: Avg. Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Sidesplitting book:
Enjoyable Read: My 14 yo daughter had to read this book for a writing class. We are in north Florida and have no close relatives or friends who are recent emigrants to this country. She thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was easy and fun to read. She came away from it having a better understanding of how it must feel to have to come to a new place and learn a new language and customs. Hyman Kaplan also shows how to keep trying and not give up. Good lessons. The Education of Hyman Kaplan: Although this book was written before the IInd world war it is still relevant and one of the funniest books I know. I read it over half a century ago and on rereading was not disappointed. The Author pokes fun at the efforts of new immigrants to learn a new language but never becomes spiteful or condescending. And since this century is one of mass migration it is still relevant. i laughed very loudly: This book is recommended to readers who have a keen and perhaps wry sense of humor, (think Carol Burnett skits.)
