Madeline Leaman - Ragtime

I chose this novel because I grew up listening to the musical version. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the separate story lines depicting three of the different groups that helped shape America. Most of all, I was interested in the story of Tateh and his daughter in the musical and was happy to find the details of their journey elaborated on in the book. Another reason I decided to read Ragtime rather than the other options was because it was highly recommended to me by many of my friends who had already read it.

Madeline,
I think its cool how you decided to choose your book based on the musical. It was the other book I debated reading and so I am glad that you liked it along with the musical version of it.
