So, they are remaking the movie based on this novel. Apparently Zac Efron is set to play Andy McGee. In order to nitpick the movie, I must reread the novel. It is dated, but still a really good read.

I have decided that this book will be the summer reading for my incoming freshman, class of 2025.

NOT my normal reading selection. I only read this book because one of my students chose to "read" it. After reading his first summary I, being the mom of 7 sons, didn't really think he was reading. So, I bought it, read the first 50 pages, figured out that he didn't read it...but decided that I loved it! On the bottom of the page I wrote MY summary of the first 50 pages and told him he was missing a great book.

I'm really enjoying this book, but I simply have no time to read during baseball season! The slowness of my progress has nothing to do with the quality of the book!

This is much better than I expected it to be. I have actually laughed out loud...in a class full of students as we were all doing silent sustained reading. I'm not sure I can read this one silently!

Yes, I need a break from all of the wonderfully intense books I have been reading this year. Yes, I am reading one of THOSE books.

I wish I had never purchased this novel.
