I bought this on cd's because I have always loved the book and the movie. As with most people these days, it is convenient to be able to pop in a cd and listen to the book instead of trying to find time to read. It is a such a wonderful story of love in a family overcoming the hardships that would tear most families apart these days. It lets one peek into a world most of us have never known and see the importance of our own family histories and some of what our grandparents, great grandparents, etc. lives were like at that time. It does not romanticize, but instead teaches what survival in a less than perfect world we may be born into requires. Even though the book is set in a much earlier era, it will never become obsolete. I recommend it to anyone to read who has any memories of stories told by grandparents, etc. It may bring those stories to life for you as it did for me. Once you become in involved in the lives of Francie and Neely, you will find it almost impossible to put the book down. Every character will remind you of someone you have known in your own life. I hope you will read it and find it worth re-reading many times over the years as I have.Read full review
it is a great novel with an enriching plot. it should be read by everyone looking for a good story to cuddle up with on a slow quiet night
A Tree grows in Brooklyn should be a part of everyone's reading experience. It depicts the richness of immigrant life in brooklyn at the beginning of the 20th century with an amazing sense of humor and appreciation of the human condition.
I haven't had time or opportunity to listen to most of what I ordered but have enjoyed this one very much. it is so wonderful to have these on disc to listen to while traveling.
