Helpful Score: 1
This book haunted me for weeks. While race and class may be a huge theme throughout the book, I think the sentimentality is what is most powerful. It's a long, overwhelmingly descriptive read at times, but I think that helped the movie to be so accurate. Yes I also enjoyed the movie (which I wasn't expecting). Sir Ben Kingsley does an extrodinary job of bringing this character to life. This is the kids of story that has you wondering who is the protagonist and who is the antagonist. Your mind will be changed over and over, but in the end, you'll feel for them both. That is a talent this author has become genius in executing.
