  I started this over the weekend, and I’ll likely finish it in the next couple of days. What a Cinderella story this is!

  I just started this yesterday. Loving all the history in it. Already tho, my heart kind breaks for Joe. He just got sent to live at the school! Why couldn’t his older brother take him??

    Yes, my heart broke for Joe several times throughout the story… and I had a hard time finding any empathy at all for his stepmother, and very little for his father. I know there had to be circumstances I’m not aware of, but still…
    
    I love the person Joe became though… it’s amazing how he took what he was given and built a life with it.

  Have you seen the movie? I was wondering how it compared to the book. Did it follow it closely or was it changed quite a bit?

  I enjoyed the movie. It wasn’t as good as the book. Joe’s history and family life were a bit different.

  A fascinating story! I loved their concept of swing- that if all these individuals can completely trust each other and work together as one, they can transcend boundaries. I think this is true in many aspects of life. I think of friends and how when we’re together, we often have swing.
  
  I was thinking tho- do you think the Nazis had swing? All working together….
