Then when we were in high school he was a books guy, he grew a beard before anybody else and claimed to have read Moby Dick. I tried to read it too but got lost. Sub-Sub-Sub-Sub-Librarian? All I know is it's all underwater. Maybe a submarine.

Starting reading this little gem to my son. Only takes about 7 pages to knock him out.
This is not the story of the movie. I don't know how they pulled the movie (The Iron Giant) from this story. Inspired by and based on are very flexible terms.
Anyway, we are literal pages from the conclusion. Excellent little story for children. Although, if you are reading it to a child who has heard of the Marvel character, I recommend referring to the character in the book using the name from the film, because explaining that Iron Man and the The Iron Man are not the same, and then explaining that Iron Man is just a guy in a suit? Not as much fun as reading this short story.

Excited and scared about this book. After all, it's a thousand page read! :)
The first edition is the third edition! (The author had to rewrite it twice, after prison guards destroyed the manuscript the first two times)
If it took him that much willpower to write it, I should muster enough to read it, at the least! 🤞

Superb read! Though I doubt if it would be any relatable to others outside of the Indian context, it sure as hell was a swell read to me!
