Book Rambling

Never thought a book would be a post on my blog
cuz im not an avid reader at all...i mean AT ALL...
but thanks to the miracle of academies and Northwestern
i have been able to read this book called There are no Children Here..
by Alex Kollowitz

its about two brothers Lafayette and Pharaoh, actually based on a true story...
well i should actually say its true...very good though
actually depressing at times because it details the very poor conditions of these brothers and family
in the Chicago ghetto's back in the 1980s.....
very depressing but actually im hoping positivity comes in some form......i'll let you know what happens in the book...maybe
but so far very interesting...

Apparently also made into a movie in 1993, starring Oprah,


I'll have to check that out also...and I'll get back to you on that...
