Just finished reading Rocket Boys, or October Sky, as it's now known. Rocket Boys was a better title. Anyway, I practically bawled. It's strange. I've read a lot of books already in my short life, many of them touching. I don't know if any single one of them has touched me the way this one has. Several times, my eyes teared up. More than once, those tears escaped down my cheeks. For heaven's sake, its a book about boys launching rockets! But at the same time, it's the journey of a boy trying to find his place in the world and trying to find out if his father really loves him, trying to earn his father's love. If there is something that gets to me, it's a father-son story.
Read it.
