I enjoyed it as I could relate to the area, story was a bit predictable, but an easy, good read

I enjoyed the way the author described settings. I could actually form a picture of the courtyards, the road ways, kitchen areas. This book was easy to get lost in and also get a sense of life during this time.

It was amazing since it took place in a part of the wprld where I grew up[just a few years later].

But once I did I enjoyed it. There were several places where I felt there was a lot of material just put in to make it longer. I got kind of lost in some of those areas until I could get back into the main part of the story. It was easy to become vested in these peoples' lives. I am very glad that I read this novel.

I enjoyed the story especially because it portrayed a time in San Francisco's history I was unfamiliar with.

I combined this book with a good road map and wandered, and found many wonderful places which I might have otherwise missed.  At the end of my adventures, the book was dog-eared and heavily notated, and I felt that the Conords were my old friends.

There were several issues that I have forgotten.  The author reminded me of them.  Also, some incidents varied from what I've known previously. I also enjoyed the list of the names...Some of which I have forgotten.

For some reason, this book resonated with me.  Partially this was because some of the locales were personally familiar to me.  For example, my favorite hotel in London is Number Sixteen on Sumner Place, the locale of the mother's home, and I have family near Mystic Connecticut.  But primarily, I think, the book's appeal to me was the depiction of Logan's life passage, from adolescence through old age.  His experiences and perceptions rang universal to me--at least on a general basis they paralleled mine.

I was taken in by the story and also the location. I  grew up in this area and remember the events my parents related to reminded me how difficult it was then.

I especially enjoyed this book because, as a Washintonian, I recognized some of the places mentioned.  The writing is so good that I felt like I was at the competitions cheering my team on.
