I think this is the biggest age gap I've ever read in a book (22 yrs) but strangely it didn't bother me at all. Cooper was just so mature for his age, it was on a very rare occurrence that he'd do or say something that made him seem in his 20's. And Tom was pretty cool, too. Together they were just a cute couple.

The whole Architecture thing was really interesting too. It's not something I'd have thought would interest me but reading about the drawing of buildings and all the details that were needed...it was quite fascinating.

I'd definitely be interested in the rest of the series.

Movie Favorite

"In my top three love stories. Narciso Yepes’s legendary score gives this juvenile romance its fame and contributes to its magic, but the movie is an entity of perfection. The artistic direction is meticulous and inspired; there’s a vanguard oneiric look to the film. Brigitte Fossey delivers an endearing and incredibly mature performance, and looks the epitome of femininity despite her—gulp—six years of age. Great opening sequence depicting the 1940s French exodus from Nazi occupation. Genuine and sensible study of youthful mores; creative representation of the children’s universe. Stunning grace and poetry. Heartbreaking departure scene. I love that film. It makes me want to be a pretentious critic."
