megha_singhal 's review for:
The Giving Tree
by Shel Silverstein
Ah the quickest a book has broken my heart - simple, classic and timeless. I am also glad I got the luxury of reading this with my brother - something we both enjoyed immensely :)
(Also I'm so surprised by the number of 1 star reviews on the book and the massive divide in interpretations for a children's book - while many see it as a tale of unconditional love, others see it as exploitation and gross codependency in terms of abusive relationships from which the question emerges - is it a right moral message for kids to be reading? (Which imo yes ofcourse - that is precisely the point of the book. You can teach kids a lot even with things not summed up into a plain single line righteous moral). Either way, any book that stirs up such controversial opinions is definitely worth reading).
