Book: October Sky

I am currently reading the book October Sky, a story of the life of Homer H. Hickam Jr. The book was originally entitled Rocket Boys and yes, the movie October Sky was based off of this book. This book is really good. I'm only about 150 pages in but it's still amazing. It tells about his struggles making rockets especially when his father doesn't approve of it. The book really emphasizes on how you need to follow your dreams no matter what anybody else tells you. It has some slow parts in the book but it always picks itself back up. I would, so far, rate this book at an 8 out of 10 because, like I said some parts can be rather boring, but it's still a really exciting book.
