Apparently "Little Children" had a movie version made based on this novel, but I didn't know that prior to finding this book. I stumbled upon the book while surfing this site :). Tom Perrotta manages to do what Jonathan Franzen couldn't do in his book "The Corrections;" take ordinary American families and expose them from the inside out using wit, social commentary and complex characters. Perrotta's cast of demoralizing and selfish characters include: the neighborhood child molester, working parents who carry on lurid affairs and several young children who seem to just 'get in the way' of their respective parents' social lives. What's so enticing to read about characters like this? Nothing, really -- in the hands of a less skilled author that is. In the hands of this author though, the book reads like a juicy literary version of "Desperate Housewives" or "Parenthood." There's nothing cheesy about his approach though, as would be with those TV soaps. Perrotta picks and prods at his characters' inner workings showing the readers their faults and misgivings without even blinking. He humanizes these characters (yes, even the child molester at times) and makes you rethink your own prejudices and moral high ground. Upon its conclusion, I wondered if the title is yet another witty ploy by Perrotta that's a reference to the parents and their behaviors and not their children? LOL. One can only guess. I'd gladly read another book about Tom Perrotta's 'soccer moms' any day of the week. Because in doing so, it's a given that they are going to be revealed to be much more than that by story's end.
