Book Review of Mrs. Mike (Mrs. Mike, Bk 1)

Mrs. Mike (Mrs. Mike, Bk 1)
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


I suggested this for book club for a few reasons: first, I had never heard of the book and was stunned to see how many people had read it. Second, I saw it compared to "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" -- which is a superb book.

"Mrs. Mike" is a lovely story about a real woman. As we all agreed in book club, you do get lost in her story. It's amazing. But, the writing is adequate at best.

So, don't expect to be wowed by amazing prose. But do expect to be blown away by the story of one of the bravest young women ever.
