A Tree Grows in Brooklyn was a book that was chosen for an online book club that I have joined. This book was almost abandoned be me a few times. I wasn't getting sucked into the story about this poor family and their hardships. However when I mentioned to a few people that I was reading it, they all told me it was one of their all time favorites. I can not say that I feel the same. I was happy to done with the book and although I did find a couple of laughs and tears in the book, it is not something I would pick up and read again.
The women in the book are all very different and yet the same. They are doing all they can to help get their families by. I think that it is a good book, and written beautifully, however, it just wasn't something I could say was a favorite.
