This was a fun, quick read of a classic children's story that I missed out on reading "at the right time". Very fun to imagine living in the Met, and makes me want to go to New York even more than I already did. Some of it does not hold up today (prices, the way Claudia corrects Jaime's grammar, etc), but it's easy enough to look past and to just enjoy the mysterious tale.
