NICHOLS, John - The Sterile Cuckoo - (Paperback) *

(NO MORE THAN 5 BOOKS PER ORDER OR PARCEL ALLOWED) - Book still in a good condition even though it belonged to a library before.    >>>    You can tell him to go home and stop bitching and moaning.  I'll take Pookie Adams any day.  The book is quite a bit different from the film (which has virtues of its own - notably Liza Minnelli's heartbreaking performance);  is it better?  What do you think?  (Yes, it's better).  John Nichols has done a masterful job of drawing two characters just coming into flower - emotionally needy, confused, exhilarated, excited, horny, discovering sex, questioning the sincerity of their feelings for one another; it's truly an amazing piece of writing (especially as it was his debut).  If you've never read it you're in for something special, and then pass it on to an adolescent in your life (boy or girl) - maybe they'll discover you don't have to be a vampire to feel "different" or "confused" or "special."      (Ivan on Goodreads)       * Film tie-in *
