I've never read the book or seen movie, but I know the plot deals with 2 teens who are both dying, and fall in love with each other. Sounds like they have sex at some point and that's why the book was banned . I read my first Stephen King book when I was like 11. And there was probably more explicit sex in that, then in this teen romance book.. <cite>Zikten posted [p:975354589] in Author of ...

mercurydude 08/09/23 5:24:06 PM #8:	I read that book some years back and don't even remember a sex scene in it.
