Book Review: A Bit of a Disappointment
Summary: 3 Stars
Betty Smith certainly had a lot to live up to after writing "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. "Joy in the Morning" was the story of newlyweds Carl and Annie. It is a chronicle of their first year of marriagein 1927, when Carl is finishing his last year of university. It is an honest and sometimes funny story of their trials and disappointments, their optimism and hopes. Annie is one of those characters that you just have to love-she's eternally open and optimistic and has a natural gift for writing. Carl isn't quite so much of a main character-you see that he loves Annie and is the "steadier" side of the marriage, yet you do not get to know him like you get to know Annie. You can still see traces of Betty Smith's "trademark" keenness and insight, yet this interesting novel can't hold a candle to "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"
