Puppy, don't look.

I loved this book. Check it out. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well.

Like a great 50's musical

This book was really a fun read. If you are expecting a epic novel like the Thornbirds or Cold Blood, this isn't it. This is just a really fun, feel good read. It's why everyone went to those old musicals like White Christmas, or Singing in the Rain. To escape and feel good. Adam and Steve met each other breifly in the 80's after a night of partying then parted suddenly and went on with their lives to become and recovering alchoholic and a physchologist. They meet years later, not remembering their previous meeting, and fall madly in love. They each have quirky best friend. When they discover they had once met each other in the past, it threatens to destroy what they have now. Will their quirky friends be able to get these two back on track? Who'll win the two-step dance-off? Read the book. You'll have a blast.

As wonderful as the movie, but in a different way!

I had the good fortune to see Adam and Steve (the movie) this summer at Outfest, Los Angeles. It's absolutely hilarious, over the top and raunchy at times, but deeply romantic as well. Reading the novel by screenwriter/director/star Craig Chester gave me my Adam and Steve "fix" as I wait for its release next Spring (in the same way that the Latter Days novelization did a couple of years ago). It's unusual that a gay film should get a novelization, and even more unusual that it should be written by the screenwriter. Chester knows his characters inside/out, and the novel allows the reader to see inside their souls, to experience what's happening in their minds and hearts in the way that a film can only suggest. The novel emphasizes the romance; the film is funnier. Both are well worth your time! Thanks to Craig Chester for writing as romantic a gay novel as I've ever read, and thanks too for casting two out gay actors in the film's leading roles (Chester as Adam and Malcolm Gets as Steve.) Read the novel today and be sure to see the film next year.
