Book Reviews of The Giving Tree 40th Anniversary Edition Book with CD

Book Review: 40 years and alot of wasted trees.....
Summary: 1 Stars

I too find this book disturbing, even down to the author's photo on the dustjacket which makes him look less friendly and sane than Charles Manson. The story starts out well and then turns into "The ungrateful s.o.b. and the co-dependant tree".

I'd like the story better if the tree was used to make the ingrate a coffin soon after he reached young adulthood in the story.

I find the sad tree and the ungrateful boy story to be unsuitable for bedtime reading for my children, and I find the whole story disturbing myself. I don't buy children's stories so I can analyze the deep hidden meanings intended by the author. The book would be better read by a co-dependant horticulturist than children, and I just feel there are better books out there for children.
