One hopes and hopes as the book goes along - in this case, even though you know there can be nothing much waiting for the pair you still feelfor them as they travel...you know the father isjust building the boy's hopes up for something better in the south and when they get to the coast, to keep him going.As a mother I understand this. The man will do anything to prevent his son suffering any more than he has to.<br />I cant wait to see the film, but it willnot be true to the book.Already I am disappointed, because the boy is far older and wiser than I imagine when reading the book. I put him at about 7, but in the film he looks and acts about 10, and he acts too streetwise, which in the book he isnt and which of course he couldnt be.<br />But still, I do look forward to seeing how the film has been directed etc...<br />Thanks for making these clips available!Otterhttp://www.northernskyknitting.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112922282012233005.post-80013744819720180482009-10-16T00:10:04.130-07:002009-10-16T00:10:04.130-07:00the book left me a father in tears...having a son ...the book left me a father in tears...having a son of my own I would die for him.
