Book Review of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn


There were several "books" in this book, and I am not so sure it needed that, it was two books. The climax was at chapter 32 for me, then the heroine grew up-something I felt would never happen. Not only because half of the book was about her childhood and the people supporting that, but because I didn't really want her to, even if it is inevitable. I think everyone can connect with this book in one way or another. Some in more ways than others. I think its harder to read if you have more ways to identify it with. I have thought of writing a book like this, I am sure most people have... but at the end of the book I felt that there will never be a book like this, at least, not as well as this one was written. I would read this book twice. Though it was hard to read(for me)-emotional, I felt it had a decent mix of good and bad.
