But like most people of my age, i saw the film first. Still not sure I will ever get over the emotional trauma of seeing it when I was about 10.

My first instance (of many) where I was disappointed by the adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is currently smashing his way through books - he read one of the David Walliams novels (kids love 'em) from cover to cover on the flight to Lapland a few weeks ago. He really enjoys reading but would be good to get him into something a little more "literary" without scaring him off reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always an advanced reader, but I read it on the recommendation of another kid in my class. It's not a difficult book other than by it's length, but if you start to love a story, then you don't want it to end anyway. Obviously it has its darker moments, but I think as a kid you gloss over those parts. It opens your eyes that sometimes not everything will be alright, but life goes on and comes good again. But I guess you know this I've read it a couple of times since and it still stands up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
