I found out pretty late that the story was written by Stephen King, even though some online reviews of the film claim that it does not have to do much with the book? I wouldnt know! I can imagine that King wrote nice stuff as well, its just this reputation about horror stories that always prevented me from reading him!

I remeber that quote about the kiss. its really amazing the atmosphere of this film.

BTW, my favorite line comes from that movie/book:
"It was his first real kiss, and Bobby never forgot the feel of her lips pressing on his - dry and smooth and warmed by the sun. It was the kiss by which all the others of his life would be judged and found wanting."

Virus,
I’m so glad you liked that movie! Stephen King, one of my favorite authors, wrote it. Although his films historically never do well as movies, the other exceptions to this are The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me, both short stories by the same author. His earlier novels, like Carrie, Salem’s Lot, etc, were too horror-story genre for me, but the themes in his later stuff really appeal to me. I think that you might also enjoy reading The Talisman, as it is about a young boy and his relationship with his mother too, as well as good vs. evil, and all the other weird stuff Stephen King throws in. And if you really want some good heady reading, try The Dark Tower series. One of my all-time favorites. All of these stories are related by the way, which makes them kind of a cool insider thing for me.
