Reviews"A fresh take... credit screenwriter Pickett for coming up with a debut that goes some distance... Skillful work about a friendship between two ultimately likeable guys." - Kirkus Reviews "[A] lively debut... Pickett takes his readers on a jolly ride." - Publishers Weekly "A buddy novel in the cinematic vein of Swingers... Pickett plays the sex-and-the-single man angle for all its worth here, nodding occasionally at such larger themes as friendship and romance. Call it Nick Hornby lite." - Booklist, "A fresh take... credit screenwriter Pickett for coming up with a debut that goes some distance...

SynopsisA raucous and surprising novel filled with wonderful details about wine, Rex Pickett's Sideways is also a thought-provoking and funny book about men, women, and human relationships. The basis for the 2004 comedy-drama road movie of the same name starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. Sideways is the story of two friends-Miles and Jack-going away together for the last time to steep themselves in everything that makes it good to be young and single: pinot, putting, and prowling bars. In the week before Jack plans to marry, the pair heads out from Los Angeles to the Santa Ynez wine country. For Jack, the tasting tour is Seven Days to D-Day, his final stretch of freedom. For Miles--who has divorced his wife, is facing an uncertain career and has lost his passion for living-the trip is a week long opportunity to evaluate his past, his future and himself., A rollicking road novel that is the basis of award-winning director Alexander Payne's new movie of the same name. Sideways describes the journey of two men, Miles and Jack, as they leave Las Vegas en route for Jack's impending nuptials in Santa Ynez. For Jack, the weekend is his final days of freedom, for Miles the trip becomes an opportunity to evaluate his life.

Great
Fantastic book. If you have seen the movie, you must read the book. There is so much of the book that was left out of the movie. The character development is much more in the book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
