5.0 out of 5 stars
something wonderful.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Some Kind of Wonderful (Mass Market Paperback)
i loved the movie, so i wanted to see if the book gave anything extra. alot of it is line for line in the movie, so i pretty much scan read those parts. but it did have some extra dialog in it. it extends on some of the lines that wasn't in the movie. also watts was willing to help keith out in another way. if your a big fan of the movie, i'd check it out. i think this is the first draft or one of the first drafts for the movie, and i guess david bischoff the author add in some dialog for the book. it's a quick read at 191 pages. happy with my purchase.

A nice story based on "Some kind of wonderful" movie,

This review is from: Some Kind of Wonderful (Mass Market Paperback)
The book was written right after the release of "Some kind of wonderful" and David Bischoff follows the story very closely to the movie plot, often taking dialogues directly from the movie, word by word. The dialogues, however, lose their edge because the author omits "inappropriate" language. For instance, at the beginning of the movie Duncan asks Watts how long has she been a lesbian. In his book, however, D. Bischoff translates that into " How long have you been a tomboy?" and the rest of Duncan's dialogue with Watts (right before the fight broke out) is omitted. This trend is followed carefully throughout a book, which appears to be geared toward middle school kids.
Most of the time, D. Bischoff stays true to the story. He also added some scenes that were not in the movie, such as Watts telling Keith at the end that he will have to return diamond earrings he just gave her because he needs the money to go to art school. Overall, if you love the movie you will probably like the book. In my opinion, reading the production script would have been much more interesting, but alas it is not available.
