      December 23, 2003: 12/23/03 This book was well tought out. It was easy reading, which meant to me that I had to read it in a week or less. The characters were great. I tought a many of times that the author was really talking about himself back in the day. It seemed very real. Several areas were tear jerkers and stimulating. I would highly recommend this worthwhile reading. It gives us a glimps of history, from the stand point of an individual rather than several accounts which may have been given different view points. Very well done. Can't wait for 'Philly Style and Philly Profile'

      April 25, 2003: The greatest compliment one can pay the author of his memoirs is: 'I know those people! I really know them!' I feel privileged to sit at the table beside Andy (Mr. Julius Thompson) while his mama, Golda, dishes out a sumptuous ~ though modest ~ feast. My hand is in Andy's. My other hand is in Andy's Step-father's (Marvs) strong black hand while we follow his lead in bowing our heads, and feel his love and his deep and unshakeable faith as he leads us in grace. Mr. Julius Thompson takes us on a literary journey through the tempestuous sixties. His main character, Andy Michael Pilgrim, has a dream ~ a dream in an environment and generation that could easily crush a less enduring black man's dreams. With riots and death all around him, Andy persists in the pursuit of his dream. With the love of his life, Leslie, beside him, Golda's love (leaning heavily on him, sometimes, as a mother's love will tend to do), Marvs guidance and love giving him direction, and a whole wacky cast of loveable characters ~ his extended family ~ urging him on, Andy moves relentlessly forward, overcoming towering obstacles, until his dream is realized... Yes, I know those people. I love those people. And, thanks to Julius Thompson and his book, 'A Brownstone In Brooklyn,' you'll find yourself knowing and loving them, too.
