Asantewaa Yamoah-Ragtime
I have chosen to read Ragtime because I am familiar with the musical. I really enjoyed the plot and the development of characters and want to get a chance to know what the musical was based off of. Reading the book will give me a better understanding of the musical and what the people that have performed the musical are trying to convey. Since the novel is narrated by a young boy you get the perceptive of a child which is not always given during this period. I also find it interesting with the lack of names of characters and wonder how that shapes the novel. I am looking forward to reading this novel and learning more about the time period.

A lot of people have been reading this book. I hope you enjoy reading the rest of it! It sounds really interesting.
I keep hearing great things about that book and the musical. All these comments people are posting make me really want to check it out.

This was my second choice. I might even read it at some point just because it sounds so good and I know the musical. Thanks for telling me more about it!

I actually heard from some juniors last year that this was a great book! Maybe I'll read it sometime.
