Great Novelization

Set in the fall of 1955, a 17-year-old Jew named David Greene leaves his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, for Boston, Massachusetts, on a football scholarship at St. Matthew's Academy, an all boys boarding school. Here David finds friendship, love, and a better education--but he also learns of a deep-seated hatred inside the school that could ruin everything for him."School Ties" is still one of my favorite movies, even though it's been about a decade since I've seen it. I bought this book shortly after watching it in theaters back in '92, and read it constantly. If you're a fan of this movie, then I'd recommend buying this novelization.
