I do enjoy reading about the stuggles of immigrants in the pre-great depression era, but at times I find it to be very saddening. The cast of characters is very irritating, with the father at the top of the list. His ignorance, laziness, overall stupidity, and opressive manner makes me want to scream at him myself, but also scream at the rest of the family for not doing anything about it. His tyrannous rule of the family and everything they do is rediculously irrational and occasionally can annoy me.
Besides the intended flaws in the personalities of the characters, I am enjoying the book.

I agree with you. The father really needs to smarten up and take responsibility for his actions and help the family get through this difficult time. Nice job!
I too am at times aggravated with the father's actions. He takes credit for everything when his decisions lead to good outcomes and refuses to take the blame when they lead to bad ones. Good post.
