Review of Colors
Colors: From Tenements to Tammany Hall, An Irish Immigrant's Tale by Samuel J. Murray is a book that reflects on the struggles and hardships endured by the Irish immigrants during the Potato Famine. The author reflects on the story of immigrants who left their homes and families searching for a better future in a new land. This book details the story of Ann McCue, who left behind her life in Ireland and sought a better life in America. The author details the obstacles and setbacks of Ann McCue as she navigates the difficulties of being an immigrant in a new country. The author also detailed the story of William Murray from Glasgow, Scotland. Read this book to follow the story of these immigrants and connect deeply with their stories.
I liked the vulnerabilities the author showed in this book by detailing the inhumane experiences the immigrants suffered. I also admired the courage of the immigrants, particularly William Murray, given the adversities he battled through. It gives readers a rude awakening to always persevere during adversities and strive to overcome them. I also liked that the author added dates and years that some of these events happened, as it helps readers keep track of said events and follow them in chronological order. I loved how simple the author's writing was, as it made me connect deeply with the stories of the immigrant family. There were no complex words that may confuse or bore readers, which improved the book's readability.
Overall, I give this book an outstanding rating of five out of five stars for the reasons I mentioned earlier. I had nothing to dislike about it, so I see no reason to deny it a perfect rating. This book's editing process was second to none, as I found no grammatical errors. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy books that explore the tragedies of immigrant families.
