A real tearjerker of a documentary

It felt weird rating this documentary as "epic," but whatever.

I saw this in theaters this week and cried like a little girl. This is a documentary about a wonderful man who did wonderful things. It showcased how he cared--truly, truly cared--and it called on the audience to remember his message: that you don't have to do anything spectacular to be special. You're perfect just the way you are. You have inherent value as a person, and you deserve to be loved and to be able to love.

If ever there was a man who embodied Christian values, it was Mr. Rodgers. The interviews here were especially poignant. They have the diverse cast and crew offer their memories and opinions. Some are heartbreaking, like interview with Francois "Officer" Clemmons.

Do yourself a favor. Watch this documentary. Remember what you learned all those years ago: you are perfect just the way you are.

At first I didn't think I was going to like this book. When I started reading I felt things were happening too quickly, however then the plot completely changed. I did not like this change but as I read on I started to think it was rather a good story line but not one of Jodi Picoult's best.

I also thought that Nathaniel was a bit too intelligent for a five year old. Jodi Picoult said herself in the interview at the back of the book that Nathaniel was wiser than most children his age due to what had happened to him however I still think half the things he said were too wise for someone of his age and had nothing to do with what had happened to him.

This book was not as bad as I had thought it would be when I first began reading it but it definately was not as good as other Jodi Picoult books.
