I won't get on my Sandra Bullock rant, as it's a little off-topic. Needless to say that I think her Oscar was a big mistake.
That part is questionable if you read the book. Lewis doesn't make a big deal of it, and tries to make it into a "rags to riches" story...but honestly it seemed to me like a family taking advantage of a poor, athletically-gifted kid.

You know, I have heard of this argument by some people. To be honest, until watching the movie, I never read the book because I didn't even know it was based on a book. I'm going to check it out. Thanks for the idea because I am looking for some great summer reading! I really hope that he is still very close to the family because they were there for him when he needed them (from the movie perspective-the book I will check out). Oh, and I LOVE Sandra Bullock!
