It is interesting to learn about a lesser known culture. I was surprised by how much I didn't know. The characters were unique and captivating.

I'm glad I read this book. It was a good commentary on life - especially in a large family. I could picture all the chaos in my mind and it was pretty accurate.
It is an interesting book to read, but the plot is very slow. Unlike some other books it doesn't beg you to finish just to figure out what happens.
