I know I read Trevor in school at some point, but definitely not this!<br /><br />@Fredamans: thank you! the movie itself is almost a decade old (2003) and was made for TV by HBO, but the production values are quite significant. be warned though, the book is rather heartbreaking.Lexiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997726505496899916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-77505460854664820272010-03-10T13:04:09.212-05:002010-03-10T13:04:09.212-05:00Here is a movie I have not heard of, so to read th...Here is a movie I have not heard of, so to read the book first would be perfect for me.
