The Giving Tree

No. Just no.

Added 1/9-20

I saw the cover of this book, and was filled with rage once again, so I seriously dislike this book.

The boy was so damn selfish, self-centered, materialistic, whiny, demanding, entitled, manipulative, greedy, ungrateful a-hole, who didn't learn anything, and I can't see any reason to why the tree would love him. And I don't believe in self-sacrificing love. I don't believe we give our children the best possible start in life by obeying their smallest whims and treating them as little Caesars. Of course, children should be loved and “spoiled rotten”, but not like this. The boy reminds me of those a-holes, who live at home and terrorize their elderly parents and don't contribute in any positive way in anyone's life. And I can't stand the good but incredibly stupid tree dying to benefit the little piece of shit.
