really liked it
bookshelves: zz2009-read, brooklyn, history, humor, jewish, lives-of-people, non-fiction, twisted, crazy-families, new-york, rich-folk

Loved it! I felt it got a little bogged down in the end with the feuds about the wills and inheritance, but overall a funny and fascinating read about a family, its empire, its downfall, and the histories of artificial sweetener and Brooklyn. Not bad for one book!
