- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While the story was interesting and had a lot of dramatic points, I found myself unsatisfied with the ending. I didn't feel that anything was accomplished or any major lesson was learned. It was just a story that started and ended pretty much the same way. One good point was the author's use of humor. The dialog was very comedic at certain points. It was kind of hard to tell who the main character was supposed to be or what the main conflict of the plot was in the play, which is why I think I was dissatisfied with it. I guess you could say I kind of got Lost in Yonkers as well as the characters. I think this would be a good read for any teens who like reading about family dramas or historical time periods.
