Can you blame me? For a Lost Soldier is an artfully told story of love and loss during wartime. The man is an uncaring jerk, and what he shared with Jeroen wasn't love, no matter how many people depict it so. Beautiful,delicate, touching story of a boy's childhood.
My disappointment is completely based on the depiction of Walt in the book.
The book is much more interesting than the movie, the emotions are more intense, complex and elemental, and the relationship more complex and problematic. IF YOU DON'T MIND THAT SORT OF THING. Sure there's something sinister beneath the surface, Helen has a bad feeling .

I was finally able to read it and I loved it even if it differs a lot from the movie: the age of Jeroen left me shocked but so did other reviews in which they said that the boy loved Walt.
In 1944, aged 11, he was sent with other children out of Amsterdam to live on the Frisian coast, found himself billeted with a family of eight and experienced a completely different way of life: washing in the yard, cupboard-beds opening into the main room, and shared; simple food, Sunday spent in church ... Then came liberation, and a Canadian soldier, probably still a teenager himself, immerses Jeroen in a world of sex and emotions that set him reeling. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
The Solider does not spend months failing in love he uses and abuses the boy - despite the boys asking him not to touch him.

For a Lost Soldier is book that retells the story of an eleven year old boy named Jeroen who was taken from his home in the early morn and sent to live with a foster family during the time of the war.

Despite everything, I haven't been able to deny any little or big reflection that he builds up on the things happening around his universe; this, because of the writing style: a powerful one, where the fire of puberty incomes and surrounds the senses of a lonely boy who starts to discover himself for the first time.

For a Lost Soldier is an artfully told story of love and loss during wartime. The exceptional account of Jeroen - aka the author - has actually leaved a remarkable sign on my reader experience, differing by the movie on many ways, because of the psicology itself of every work: from the approaching of the protagonist - a way more scared, protection needing little child of 11 - to sexuality, to the Walt's aspect itself: a not "romantic", not "gentle", not "handsome" young motivated man on his 20's - a sensitive tribute of the director to the Rudi Van Dantzig's desire and lovely memory of these age - but an effectively uncaring, aggressive, scary-looking and way older beast longing for a prey to sex with and abuse to.

Treating a Delicate Story of a Soldier and a Boy Tenderly (By STEPHEN HOLDEN Published: May 7, 1993, Friday) Roeland Kerbosch’s film “For a Lost Soldier” takes up the most delicate of subjects, a romantic relationship between a grown-up and a child, and invests it with an aching tenderness that stays just this side of nostalgic mush.
