I feel like everyone is giving this 5 stars because they feel like they have to because it's a classic. It's a hefty story about life and loss and hardship. I wanted more of the tree. I liked the importance of reading and the library and the struggle with faith.

adriana21's review against another edition
Started way too slow paced for me, and then I read reviews and discovered that the book is barely plot focused. This book just isn’t for me.
