Representaion In Favor Of Books Finding Forrester

Family isn't always what you're born with—sometimes it's the people you find, sometimes it's the people who find you.

He was a vibrant personality who wrote a Pulitzer Prize-winning classic novel four decades ago. And that's the last the world heard of William Forrester.

That is until Jamal Wallace, a brash 16-year-old with a secret passion for writing, invades Forrester's sheltered existence in the South Bronx and re-ignites the dreams of this literary legend in the winter of his life.

Known as the neighborhood recluse, Forrester is a man whose mystery and eccentricity border on the mythical. When Jamal—a talented African-American scholar-athlete who is recruited by an elite Manhattan prep school for his brilliance on and off the basketball court—sneaks into his apartment and accidentally leaves behind his backpack full of writings, they both get something unexpected in return.

Forced to look past skin color and suppositions, Jamal encounters not only his first fan, but a mentor who will challenge and change him forever, and Forrester has his first reason in years to emerge from his self-imposed solitude.

Judge Regarding Books Finding Forrester

The book is very good but one must realize it's written based on the screenplay for the movie. The title of the edition I had was confusing as it says at the top of the cover "Now a Major Motion Picture from Columbia Pictures and the Director of "Good Will Hunting" starring Sean Connery." In tiny print on the bottom of the front cover it says "Based on the screenplay written by Mike Rich." The movie was good, so the book isn't bad either. But don't read this expecting to find things not in the

I loved the movie, and obiously loved the book, but I kind of expected more from it.

Finding Forrester is about a boy named Jamal Wallace, a 16-year-old with a secret passion for writing and a talented African-American scholar-athlete invades William Forresters apartment in the Bronx and re-ignites the dreams of his literacy legend in his life. The theme of Finding Forrester id that usually someone isnt inspired until someone inspires or motivates them. Jamal is very secretive about his passion for writing. He doesnt want any of his friends to know about him being smart. When

why sad ending it's just almost to be perfect why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read this in Comp. Lit. I would of rather read Tale of Two Cities.

I didn't realize that this was written from the screenplay. I had never read a book written from a screenplay. I have to say, as much as I loved the movie, as is almost always the case, the book was far superior.

I read this book because I enjoyed the film when I saw it in the early 200s
