First of all, let me tell you what I came to this book looking for. I enjoy thinking about the characters' feelings in my head and I was curious to know whether anyone else thought the same things I did. On that level, except for a few peeks into the heroes' minds, the book fell short. Admittedly, this may be because I exaggerated the emotions of the characters (I am a romantic).
The story is fairly similar to that of the movie, although it features one deleted scene that leaves a dark splotch on an otherwise fairly carefree dramedy (BTTF fans will know what I'm talking about) and perhaps a few changes in small remarks made by the characters. Overall, the book is O.K. However, as previously mentioned, it disappointed me, and (like most novelizations) lacks something contained by the film.

Rating: At least PG. People are cautioned to take into account that there are several swear words and some brief sexual innuendo (by the villain) when deciding whether to read this. You have been warned.

Whatever caused you to read this must be the result of some completely unusual messup, but, furthermore, the book version of this popular (yet stupid) movie is one of those priceless oddities that one might stumble on perhaps once in a lifetime, probably not even noticing it. But let me tell you... I did! Wow, I got this book at a book fair when I was like 9 and I never thought much of it. But think of the possibilities! This is a novel written about a cheesy movie that a great many people know. Just reading randomly from a section is a laugh riot... on so many levels. If you ever see a copy of this book, purchase it! Its a non-stop comedy aide, really. And it's the singlemost important centerpiece for performance art I have ever known.
