Loved this book about a community coming together to save one of their own. I loved the audiobook and found that the narrator did a great job. I liked the way the author described the time period in the USA with a focus on a minority community. My heart broke for Dodo and the way he was treated. The ending wrapped everything up nicely. 
There was quite a bit of antisemitism and racism in this book.
