A great story in which I learned a lot I didn't know before. But there were some minor, easily correctable errors that distracted me (a list of 52 families on one page grew to 54 families about 3 pages later with no explanation for the discrepancy). I found some of the narration repetitive, perhaps due to the book's structure. Teddy tells Karyn the conversation he had with someone, and then he tells her about when he talked to someone else and recounted the first conversation. I wished the Teddy chapters and the short Karyn chapters were completely separate so I wouldn't have to contend with so many layers of nested quotation marks. Still, the characters managed to get my heartstrings.
