Believe it or not, but the first time I ever heard of this book was from the HBO series Band of Brothers (the book was being passed around in one of the platoons). When I checked out this book from the library, I read the introduction by Betty Smith first thing and I learned that this book is quite popular for men at war and prisoners. I thought that was really interesting since I had originally thought of this book as a "girl book".

So this is my first time reading this book, and I had no idea that it was 493 pages. I did see the black and white film -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wvCP...

Excellent book. Should be a must read for all ages and sexes. It is much more than about a girl growing up in Brooklyn. It is about life no matter what sex you are.
