Just finished watching it, it's now my all time fave film! I had fond memories of the book as a kid, and the film brought it all back. I feel I can associate with with it all the more now as an adult. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried a couple of times during it. Having grown up without my dad around, me and my mum only had eachother to rely on and things were never easy, we had some really hard times, I think that's why this film really gets me.


Ignore my ramblings, it's late an I'm feeling all emotional. I do really love this film though!
