• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes

3.0

As someone who only saw the movie as a child and never read the book, reading it now as an adult this made me both nostalgic and endeared to the book. It's, at it's core, a fun, simple story of a child rising up out of a tragic situation and making a new family at the loss of his own.
