Reservation Road

We were suppose to watch "National Treasure" but end up watching "Reservation Road". Sadness ever! Literally tulo ang luha ko. Anyway, ffg read the book already long time ago and surprisingly I haven't. So now, this book will be next on my list. Panoorin nyo, kaiyak talaga.

"A tale of anger, revenge, and great courage, the film follows two fathers as their families and lives converge. On a warm September evening, college professor Ethan Learner, his wife Grace, and their daughter Emma are attending a recital. Their 10-year-old son Josh is playing cello--beautifully, as usual. His younger sister looks up to him, and his parents are proud of their son. On the way home, they all stop at a gas station on Reservation Road. There, in one terrible instant, he is taken from them forever. On a warm September evening, law associate Dwight Arno and his 11-year-old son Lucas are attending a baseball game. Their favorite team, the Red Sox, is playing--and, hopefully, heading for the World Series. Dwight cherishes his time spent with Lucas. Driving his son back to his ex-wife, Lucas' mother Ruth Wheldon, Dwight heads towards his fateful encounter at Reservation Road. The accident happens so fast that Lucas is all but unaware, while Ethan--the only witness--is all too aware, as a panicked Dwight speeds away. The police are called, and an investigation begins. Haunted by the tragedy, both fathers react in unexpected ways, as do Grace and Emma. As a reckoning looms, the two fathers are forced to make the hardest choices of their lives. "

Last Sunday, I forgot my book "Cross" by James Patterson at the church. So much hoping to get it back on Sunday :( I haven't finish the book yet...

At lunch time, I was so happy to get hold of the trilogy of Phil Pullman's Dark Materials. All three of them for only $5 each! Weeee. So happy. Btw, book 1 of this was the Golden Compass the movie.
