ANTHROPOLOGY OF AN AMERICAN GIRL focuses on Eveline's experiences than the plot, which is why it is too long and it takes a while to get to the point. The author's writing flowed and was very beautiful. The were many quotes that just caught my attention and made me wonder just how could Hamann could have found the words to form it. The first few pages are hard to get into, but the later part of the book just kept me flipping the pages late at night, not wanting to put the book down and going to sleep. This book is just so real and amazing. I heartily recommend it.
