BOOK REVIEW: THE PERSIAN PICKLE CLUB


Title: The Persian Pickle Club
Author: Sandra Dallas
Number of Pages: 196
Number of Stars I'm Giving it: 4

I really enjoyed this book.  It was a very quick read.  It only took me about a day to read from cover to cover.  I doubt it will ever be a "classic" read, but it was an interesting story and a fun book to steal your mind away for a while.  This story reminded me almost from the beginning of my Grandma Nielson who has passed away. It also reminded me of her hometown of Oak City and brought back a lot of childhood memories for me.
The characters were likable and interesting.  I liked them more because none of them were perfect.  They were dealing with real life issues that I think most people could relate to these characters.  This book made me grateful for the many little things we take for granted like: food, clothing, a house to sleep in, electricity and so much more. While there was a mystery in this book I found parts of it to be very predictable, but predictability doesn't bother me.
I recommend this book to anyone who just wants to read a quick feel good story.  My only negative comment is I felt it had needless bad language in it, and that is always disappointing.
