"The story is engrossing and speaks to what every man has lived in his own life. It is at its root a story of growth and passage. All of us have had a similar experience but you have memorialized it into a beautiful narrative. There have been two comparable works for me personally. J. D. Salinger’s epic, A Catcher in the Rye and a movie I brought to the screen in the 1980′s: Stand by Me directed by Rob Reiner and written by Stephen King.
