==Novel content added== 

 I have in the past year discovered that a chap named Todd Strasser wrote novels for 3 of the 4 "Home Alone" movies, along with one for "The Good Son" in 1993. I've read all four books and while the "Home Alone" novels are rather so-so, Todd Strasser's "The Good Son" is an outstanding book and easily one of Strasser's best works. I noted some very important things about the book, such as the greater detail it goes into about who Henry is and why. It's really too bad the movie wasn't more like the book- Strasser does not try to excuse Henry's cold and heartless nature, but at least offers us a far better reason for it than the movie's vague "Henry is evil" bit. I don't know how to provide sources for any of what I wrote, but I think it's plenty important that we include mention of Strasser's novel. If only the movie had been as good.   )
