A review by sincerelystefanie
Billy Elliot by Melvin Burgess

4.0

I thought my love for this story would live only in the movie but I was so wrong. It was enjoyable to see how Billy grew into his love for ballet in a slightly different way than the movie and how his family accepted him in a time when it was taboo to do so. I would have loved if it featured a bit more vulgar language to suit the English language of that era and location but overall an amazing read and heartwarming story. Highly recommend.
