Christopher Weeden

I've chosen to read Rocket Boys by Homer Hickham for my APUSH summer reading. Persuaded to read this book because i have seen the movie many times and enjoyed watching it, I hope it is as good, if not even better than the movie. I never knew there was a book that created a plot for the movie until very recently so I thought it would be interesting to see how the movie evolved from the book. There have to be some differences between the book and movie because the directors for the movies always have to make the movie turn out so that it will produce money, sometimes sacrificing the true history behind the plot. I am really interested in learning how much the director changed the book to fit a film plot that would work, but i guess i will have to wait till I'm done to know that.
