 Amazon.com: Summer of '42: Books: Herman Raucher   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Herman Raucher's adaptation of his screenplay for Robert Mulligan's Summer of '42 is one of those wonderful tie-ins that I, as a reader, hold close to my heart.
Yes, much of the material is taken from the screenplay, and even though Raucher uses third-person narration instead of the movie's first-person voiceovers, it is still full of laughter-inducing memories of the "Terrible Trio" and the description of the three boys' struggles against boredom on Packett Island and their growing interest in sex and women.
Raucher is a gifted writer and uses a gentle sense of humor and a fine eye for detail that raises this novelization to a higher level than the usual tie-in.

 iFMagazine.com Reviews - SWEET NOVEMBER
Remade from a 1968 drama written by Herman Raucher (who also penned the more famous SUMMER OF '42), this is a tale of redemption through love.
In this case, the soul who needs saving (though he doesn't know it yet) is careerist Nelson Moss (Keanu Reeves), an ad man with a shelf full of Clios, a big but easily bruised ego and no emotional quality of life.
Kurt Voelker's screenplay (from a story also worked on by Paul Yurick, adapted from Raucher's original) ricochets from being fairly serious to screwball to self-parody, sometimes displaying acute self-awareness and sometimes seeming to be oblivious as to its effect.

 TIME.com: Sweet Cheating -- Apr. 16, 1973 -- Page 1
The story is a sequel to Summer of '42, that phenomenally popular pioneer of this peculiar territory.
Raucher gropes for a similar big finish for Class of '44; he is nothing if not game.
He gives us a funny-awful high school graduation, an awful-awful fraternity initiation, the first attempt to cheat on an exam (and almost getting caught) and, of course, the troubles everybody has had "going steady" for the first time.

 Review on Summer of 42 - Movie by thinavila on MouthShut.com
In Raucher’s words, ’’In the summer of ’42, Benjy broke his watch, Oscy gave up the harmonica, and in a very special way, Hermie was lost forever’’.
The film and the book start with a middle aged Hermie, coming back to the sea-side house of his childhood, and continues in a first person narrative style in the film, and third person in the book.
Raucher and Mulligan have handled the trials and tribulations of teenage, and the angst of first love, exquisitely, making both the film and the book a wonderful experience.

 Worst movie title ever goes to 'Hieronymus' | www.azstarnet.com ®
When actor-director Anthony Newley approached him with a strange-sounding project in the late 1960s, little did Herman Raucher suspect that he would wind up co-writing a movie that four decades later would be honored as having.
Newley died in 1999, so we tracked down his co-writer, Raucher, 77, at his Connecticut home to accept this award.
Still, Raucher, who would achieve far greater success two years later with the movie of his autobiographical novel "Summer of '42," retains a soft spot for it.
