Customer Review: After reading so many positive reviews for this book, I was deeply disappointed by the content and writing style. The four-word sentences and atrocious punctuation were torture for me. The author may have wanted the memoir to be from a child's perspective but the childish writing style was simply... more info
Customer Review: Bought this for my mother-in-law, and she absolutely loved it. The stories brought back memories of her own childhood. Wish I could give this ten stars for her!
Customer Review: Oh how I felt for this child. My heart was torn in two. Child abuse just astounds me. How does it happen. And then the ignorance of the legal system! The school dragging their feet along, knowing something was wrong. I cried through this book.
Customer Review: I do enjoy Bryson's writing, and have thoroughly enjoyed his other work. And I do enjoy the writing in this book. However...why am I not laughing so hard at this book?

Customer Review: This book kept me engaged to see what "diffrent" thihg would happen next. While not great writing, it is vivid and depicts things most of us can hardly imagine.
Customer Review: Harry Bernstein's memoir, "The Invisible Wall" is a great choice for book discussion groups. Although it is not a difficult read, the vividly drawn characters and themes of cultural divides and religious prejudices give plenty of meat for discussion. Bernstein's book gives us a fascinating glimpse... more info
Customer Review: If you were born in the 40s as I was, in New York, reading this book will take you back to the time you 'heard' about the coaltowns in West Virginia. This story will match your memories ... not to mention your memories of the era it represents. I LOVED it!
