I got it home from the library but didnt know if I was up to it. That is because I am currently listening to Anna Karenina. But After reading ur review I guess I need to read it.

Although I have actually forgotten the storyline, I have never forgotten that the book touched my life in some way. I keep wanting to re-read it and will probably make it a Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday priority. (I would read it sooner, but as a teacher, I sadly find little time to read for fun!)

It is one of my favorites. After reading it a few years back, I gave it to my daughter to read (18) and my son (20) and they both loved it. I read it with my book club and it was a big hit. I will never forget Francie Nolan or her family. Good luck with your Lit flick Selections. I absolutely love this book. It is one of my favorites.

I found you through Rich Women Sisterhood. I'm one of the contributors there, though life has kicked me a bit and I'm slacking. I read this book my Freshman year of HS, 9 years ago. (Wow, I'm young but that made me feel a little old) Coincidentally, I also read To Kill a Mockingbird (which I loved as well), along with Metamorphosis by Frank Kafka for English I Honors. I had to have all three books read before classes even started... and though I've not read the book since then, I still maintain it as my favorite, and now must go digging for my copy and find the time to read. I was so happy to see it made the very first RWS Book Club Telecast. :) Hi! I found you through Rich Women Sisterhood.

I loved loved loved it! This quote: "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of those books in which nothing happens but absolutely everything happens" is so true!! I'd been wanting a way to explain this book. I read this book about two years ago, and I’d wondered then why I’d waited so long! I loved loved loved it!

Jessica - Thanks! I felt really sad that I was already done so thanks for letting me continue! Laura H. – I think this is one that you wouldn’t appreciate as much when you’re younger.

I really really want to read it. Thanks for including quotes, I love reading those in reviews. And . . . congrats of technically finishing the Lit Flicks Challenge. I'm glad you've decided to soldier on until the deadline though. I can't wait to see what's up next. I’ve had this book on my TBR list for a few months now. I really really want to read it.

I read it when I was young and didnt like it. Just re-read(listened on CD) about a year ago and really enjoyed it. I put off reading this book for a long time.
