Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of months, you’ve probably seen a trailer for The Soloist, a new movie about the remarkable bond between a Los Angeles journalist (played by Robert Downey, Jr.) and a homeless, classically trained musician (Jamie Foxx). But did you know the movie is based on a book by that L.A. journalist, Steve Lopez?

Check out BookPage’s review of The Soloist from May 2008 before heading to the movies this weekend.
