I thought the boy was realistic... Milla Send a noteboard - 07/02/2010 09:23:46 PM
I did not react to how he was at all.

Edit:

I was a bit short maybe... I have not seen the movie, but from what you write I would say they have changed the boy alot. He does not sound retarded, or babied in any way. Of course the father tries to shelter him from a world that is beyond hard, but there is no way he could be babied in it.
And yes, he does understand the dangers.

If I where you I would give the book a chance.

So is the child in the book as unrealistic as the one in the movie? - 07/02/2010 08:55:55 PM 719 Views
