Title: Giving till it hurts
Review: A college friend loaned me her copy of THE GIVING TREE when I was 20, saying it was her favorite book in the world. After I read it, I wanted to throw up. What kind of person would find any redeeming value in such a sadistic tale of unmitigated greed, violence, and destruction?She turned out to be a criminal. I was one of her victims. Not to say that every child who reads this book will grow up to become a felon, but this story certainly appears to encourage people to take advantage of their friends and then destroy them. Fortunately, I managed to stop that parasite in her tracks. She won't be taking anything more from this tree.As I write this, I imagine her sitting in prison somewhere...probably reading THE GIVING TREE aloud to her fellow inmates.
