Again, I'll be discussing Betsy Brown. I finished it and it wasn't really that bad. You grew to like the character a little more, though you did want to slap her mother. Her mother, Jane, was quite foolish in the last part of the book. She leaves her house and children to go who knows where and leaves them a mess. A woman named Carrie comes to take her place, and she was a much less selfish character than Jane. The children loved her and when Jane came back she acted all high and mighty towards Carrie, even though she's the one that left in the first place.
Betsy did seem more mature at the end, though all the woman talks went right over her head. The book ended on somewhat of a sad note when Carrie goes to jail, but it had a thread of hope in it too. All in all, it wasn't a book I'd choose for myself but I don't think it was a waste of time to read it.
