[quote=Anonymous]Books are like many things - either you like it or you don't. It's like asking what the best topping is for hamburgers. Some may agree, some not. Tree is my favorite book. Probably because I grew up as an inner city girl and so much of Francie's life mirrored mine. The characters, the settings, the things that happened were all familiar. This book is a stark story of what inner city life was like at the turn of the century. I think what appeals most to me is how Betty Smith managed to cover so much of life in one book. Everything from imperfect parenting, to child molestation to first-job jitters to getting your heart broken by a sweet-talking con artist. I can't get into books that are fantasy-based although others like them. [/quote]
