I have started reading the book "Little Children" by Tom Perrotta. I am about half way through and it is okay. I wouldn't highly recommend the book to people, but I wouldn't call it a complete waste of time. Tom Perrotta is the author of "Election" and "Joe College" so I expected this book to be funny like "Election" - it's not! I loved "Election" the movie, I never read the book and I am slightly disappointed because that was so witty and fun, and this is totally not like that at all. This book is being made into a movie, don't know release date or anything, but I'm not sure how great of a movie it will be. I think that Kate Winslet may be in it?
