A review by jovvijo
The Fir Tree by Hans Christian Andersen
3.0
Good: We learn that living in the moment is wonderful! Of course it is, it's now, so I agree totally!
Bad: Geez that tree! Ups and downs and then... DEATH! Someone was a grumpy guts when they wrote this, hmm?
Overall though I do like that it's different from the norm, that yes, life isn't always what you want and yes, you have to make your own happiness from what you have. You ram that down our throats good Mr Andersen! :P
So I recommend this book to folk who are strong enough to know life isn't always peaches & pie, or who are so angry at the world that this book MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE!!!
For everyone else, there's Disney.
