Book Review and Giveaway: Rich and Mad by Academy Award Nominee, William Nicholson

Released Sept 9, 2010

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED: 1/28/11

William Nicholson is an Academy Award nominated screenwriter (Nell, Gladiator) as well as an award-winning fantasy author and playwright. Rich and Mad is his first young adult novel.
At first glance, it sounds like the simplest of stories, the story that has been told and retold since forever—young love. Rich and Mad (short for Maddie), both age sixteen, have decided they want to be in love, just not with each other. They come to their separate epiphanies and decide to take the plunge and open themselves to their hearts desires. Whether the object of each of their affections is prepared to reciprocate those loving feelings is another matter. This is the tale of their saga to find out and discover what love is.

Rich is the one of the “odd ones out” at school. He marches to his own beat, and confidently so. He doesn’t even own a cell phone. If you want to talk to him, come find him.
Maddie is a typical teen girl trying to parse and read the signals of male attention, hoping and praying it means what she thinks it does.

My Selection for Waiting on Wednesday: Rich and Mad by William Nicholson

This is my second time following this meme and I love it. Jill at Breaking the Spine started it and it gives me a great opportunity to highlight and indulge my love of scintillating stories. The book I can't wait to dig into is called Rich and Mad by William Nicholson, an Academy Award Nominated screenwriter and award-winning fantasy author and playwright. Rich and Mad is his first YA novel.

Rich is the boy and Mad (Maddie) is the girl.  I think the statement on the book's cover, says it all:

First love. First Sex. And everything in between.

I think that about covers it...lol...Sounds like a good read to me. I've heard it gets pretty graphic in it's depiction of sex and there's a violent sub plot. I'm up for it. I can take it. What about you? Rich and Mad was released in England in April and releases in the US in September. An editor from Egmont, that is publishing the book, told me it's awesome. I intend to call her bluff and read it to find out! You should probably be brave and do the same.
