Summary: It's about time
Comment: It's about time someone took the time out to celebrate the people that make New York City the beautiful, wonderful place that it is. It's about time someone took the time out to celebrate Queens for the complex, intricate, deeply political, diverse and rich place that it is. It's about time that someone took the time out to illuminate the parts of this town where working people live and congregate and raise their children. This book is a celebration. It is rich with color and culture and compassion. It forces the reader to see immigrants as people, with talent, with kindness in their hearts and with the desire not only to survive but to live. Thank you Judith Sloan and Warren Lehrer!!! You have done a great service to society.

Summary: I loved this book on so many levels!
Comment: The authors did such a great job of creating a truly compelling multimedia piece that one doesn't just read, but experiences! The people are fascinating, the stories are inspiring, and the intriguing photos, creative graphic design and layout really works to enhance the experience. The authors even add helpful and interesting tidbits of information that help give the whole work social-historical perspective. And the CD is a work of art in itself! I couldn't put the book down, couldn't wait to meet the next person and hear their story. Such a great work!

Summary: Beauty of diversity
Comment: This might be very personal as I am living in Astoria, Queens. However, after reading this book I have a feeling I am no longer alone. Also, it shows hidden or forgotten beauty of our fellow neighbors. The book is full of colors, spices and distant but yet familiar life stories. Crossing the BLVD reminds its readers on things which we are all sharing, and we all have in common - humanity.
