Sobre El Autor

Iris Rainer Dart's early writings included a collaboration on a script for the 60's television show That Girl. Her first novel, The Boys in the Mail Room (1980), was loosely based on the life of her first husband, concert promoter Steve Wolf. Her best known work, Beaches (1985), was the story of a mostrar más life-long friendship between two women of vastly different backgrounds. In 1988 it was made into a successful film and inspired Dart to write a sequel, I'll Be There (1991). (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

I loved the movie and I love the book! And....I think the movie was better.

Two women share a friendship that spans over 30 years, survives past marriages and careers, and all of life's ups and downs.

As I got near the end of the book, I was saying in my head "don't cry, don't cry, don't cry". Then, too late! I was crying.

An excellent film, now over thirty years old but with many issues still relevant today. About a lasting friendship between two very different girls. Bette Midler is believably selfish in her ambitions as a singer, yet she's quite attached to the wealthy (and very attractive) Hillary (Barbara Hershey), who is a lawyer. There are arguments and differences in their friendship, in particular over a man, but also over their different values.

Very well made, mostly in flashback scenes (with some superb casting for the eleven-year-old versions of the main actresses). If the ending is a tad predictable, it's still done well, and quite poignant.

Recommended to adults or teens.

I wouldn't have read this book unless I had agreed to for book group. It's not a good book group read because it is too predictable.
