A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
4.0

I really enjoyed this book. Unlike other longer books (100 Years of Solitude, anyone?), this one doesn't take a whole lot of brainpower to read. It is quick, the chapters are short, and I was engaged with the story the whole time. There wasn't a point where I thought the story lagged - it was a good read. Would I put this on my "books to read every year" shelf? No....but maybe once every 5 years.
