This is another book I'll never read (since they made a movie out of it). And it's funny cuz I picked it up at the library recently but found no time to go past 10 pages. The hardcover really grabbed my attention with the goldfish, I'm so addicted to cheese crackers. Other than that I think I read a blurb about it in Esquire or something

From the little I read, the main character was a "soccer mom" who was sick of her surroundings. From the trailer, you can see it's big suburbian malaise (American Beauty) with a romance developing between neighbors, a single mom (Kate Winslet) starts something intense with a chap (Patrick Wilson, seen recently in Hard Candy and sorta breakthrough for The Phantom of the Opera) who's married to a brunette vixen (that would be the gorgeous Jennifer Connelly who proves that bangs work on basically no one). The whole train siren thing is kinda annoying but works to a point




Director Todd Field can do drama, his breakthrough movie was In The Bedroom; he worked on the screenplay with the original novelist Tom Perrotta


Little Children (New Line) opens Oct 6
