A Long Way Home

Watched the movie today, and of course I cried at the end. I cannot compare to the book just yet, but it was really beautiful and sad and heart-warming how 5 year old Saroo gets lost and tries to find his way back home after 25 years with nothing but a vague memory of his childhood, his mother, his little sister and his best friend and brother Guddu, and Google Earth.

No, but I want to. Such a beautiful story, though heart-breaking at times! Hopefully the movie closely followed the book.

In my last hospital admission my nurse/friend kept trying to get me to read this and see the movie but she could never talk about it without crying. I agree, from what I know its very happy tears type but still. I WILL get to it though.
I understand your hesitation, Rachel but whenever you give a chance to the book or the movie, I hope you enjoy :)
Im sure I will. Im glad that you really liked it too. Only great books and movies can make you cry tears of happiness or sadness. I hope you love the book just as much.
Thank you, Rachel :) You're absolutely right!
