Negative Positive
Title: Well written.
Review: I found this book to be enjoyable, realistic, and very well written. I do admit that I picked this up because it was an Oprah pick. The only other Oprah pick I have read was 'The Reader' and I hated it. I really liked this book though. I am surprised that Oprah would pick this book as well as the other I read, though. She's so into looking into our spirit and lifting ourselves up and these books didn't really make me feel enriched after reading them. White Oleander was a very good read, but I don't feel it left me with anything other than a new outlook on the Foster Home environments and program. It is true that Astrid lifted herself up and recognized her worthiness, but even in the end, she is left wanting and sad. I do, though, recommend this book.
