Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-28 00:00:00 Kostas Jhjhjhjhjh When young Andy came to town, he found a mutual dislike with Master Godfrey, Colonel Preston's son. Though Andy was of low station (not considered fit company for Godfrey's circle), he was not to be deterred. But snooty Godfrey and his ilk have always been a pain! Go Andy! In days when the Irish were often looked down upon, Horatio Alger gave them hope (in spite of his amusing writing style).

Review # 2 was written on 2018-10-28 00:00:00 Bradley Czech Ahh, classic, NY chick-lit. It doesn't get any trashier then this. This book had way too many charecters and the only thing that really connected them all was the building they lived in. It was really about two different families with like an assortment of other characters thrown in. Family #1 contained this simi-newly married couple and the Girl came from no where and wanted so much to fit in to high society that she did what everyone considered really stupid things and then just talked behind her back. She tried to live up to the first wives reputation so much that it ended up screwing her horribly and then she realized that she shouldn't be trying to live up to the reputation and when she was just herself, everything was fine and dandy. Also, the first wife wasn't as great as everyone made her to be. Family #2 contained a women who had horrible depression and a husband who cheated on her and had a "second family" whom he hated anyway and tried to get rid of, the women at least, not the kid. And then between both of these family there were two gossips who just talked shit about everyone. This book took some getting used to to get into the flow as there were so many characters and you had no idea how they connected at the beginning. But by the end, you kind of hated no one, which was kind of nice. Grade: C
