Its nice to have this book by the writer. The dialogue is clever. the characters are realistic and the humor is wonderful. We all know a Harry or Sally! Its a great romantic comedy by a talented writer. It is great to have the book to refer to if you want to look over a certain part from the movie in detail. It is short. but thats the whole story!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful!By S. MillerThe dialogue sings with comedy. life lessons and ultimately. love.
