If I had seen it before reading the book I might have been able to appreciate it for the movie that it is. However, it takes such liberties with the story it is based on that my students said if it weren't for the title it would be unrecognizable as the same story. Both they and I were very disappointed. The book is fabulous, why couldn't they just have let it be?

This was pretty original, considering how Night John looked out for fellow slaves, teaching them to read and so forth. Most runaway slaves don't return to look out for others.

The little girl was adorable and brave. I respected her strength. No foul language, illicit sex scenes. Good entertainment/education for the kids.
