Book Reviews of The Sterile Cuckoo (Norton Paperback Fiction)

Book Review: A college romance homecoming
Summary: 5 Stars

John Nichols first book is a wonderful story of a college romance, from its awkward beginnings to its almost tragic end. And what falls in-between bounces between joy and sorrow, mixed with humor. From beer-soaked fraternity parties to sunny picnics in fields, Nichols captures love and the college experience as well as any author.

It isn't an outstanding book. It won't go down as a modern classic. But it is very funny, and it is very realistic. Nichols greatest literary skill is his character development and interaction, and that skill is on display in this novel. I felt as though Nichols had been my roomate in college, and that he was writing about my own antics during those wonderful years. The characters seem all too familiar, and the the plot lines seem taken directly from my collegiate years.

Just as homecoming trips to alma maters go by in a matter of days, so will this book. All the joys, sorrows and memories of anybody who has ever had a college romance will come back quickly to readers.
