Yellow Springer
5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read, very informitive and entertaining
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2019
I read this for a high school term paper as research material, and was surprised to find that I actually enjoyed the book. There are three perspectives going on all at once, the reader's modern perspective, the author's perspective from the 1940s, and what the place was actually like during the time period covered. These make the book very interesting to read. The author sometimes focuses on things that we would not find very uprising or offensive today, and glosses over some things that make modern readers do a double take. Over all, the book is very through and captures the essence of what Coney Island was better than any modern takes do.
