Labor Day

I read The Great Gatsby and it was very good. I liked it more than the movie which is very surprising because I always think that the movie is always better. But it was almost as good as the movie but the book just had a little jump to it. I did not think that I would enjoy the book so much but I did.

Has anyone heard of the movie that just came out in January called Labor Day? Well I just heard about it a couple of days ago and the movie sounds really good. Then I heard today that the movie is based off of a book that Joyce Maynard wrote back in 2009. I looked up what the book was about and it sounds really interesting to me. It is kind of a love story. It is about a boy and his mother that lives together and has almost nothing. They are making it day by day. Well the little boy convinces his mother to go out and go on a shopping spree for herself. While they are shopping a man that is covered in blood come up to them and they take him home with them. Well he then admits to the mother and son that he is a convicted murderer but then tells the mother that she and her son are in great hands. She then lets him continue living there. They end up falling in love with each other. So to me it is a love story with a twist. I am thinking about ordering the book and reading it then watching the movie. If you have not noticed yet I love books that have movies to go with them!
