TREYF: My Life as an Unorthodox Outlaw

You don't have to be Jewish to love Elissa Altman, a great storyteller, as she shares what is was like being brought up in the 60s by a quasi devout Dad who loved good food and taught her to, turning Elissa into a first class food writer, and a vain mom who never ate a thing.The book itself came in pristine condition. Will order from here again.

Started off so creative and the writing is beautifully descriptive, but after about half-way it's painful to finish. Too many details and not holding my attention, even when I adore the subject.

I ordered this book because I found a familial link to the author. The stories were so similar to my own experiences that even without the link, it would have felt like personal history. It is well written. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the topic of the American Jewish experience.

Elissa Altman has written a heartfelt memoir which touched me as no book has for a long long time. I recommend it to anyone searching for meaning in their life.

Sad and moving, but for me this book doesn't have the vibrancy and power of the first book I read.

This Book Was Delightful! I haven't enjoyed reading a book this much ever! I cannot recommend this book more highly to everyone and I hope that more than 12 reviews will appear and more people will spread the word about this soul touching novel.

Great book. It will make a wonderful gift during thr holidays! I loved reading this book.

Fits read and a wonderful story.
