  Amazon.co.uk: The Rachel Papers: Books: Martin Amis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Rachel fits the bill perfectly and Charles plans his seduction meticulously, sets the scene with infinite care - but it doesn't come off quite as Charles expects.
The Rachel Papers is Martin Amis' first novel, and to my mind it is his best.
It is noticeable that The Rachel Papers is the work of a young writer, but it is clearly the work of a great one and typically the work of Martin Amis.

The Rachel Papers is Martin Amis' first novel, and to my mind it is his best.
It is noticeable that The Rachel Papers is the work of a young writer, but it is clearly the work of a great one and typically the work of Martin Amis.
It would be possible to criticise some of the other characters, particularly Highway's seducee, Rachel, as being somewhat undeveloped, but they are all drawn without a line out of place, and if they seem flat, or neglected by the author, this can be attributed to Highway's self-centredness.

Rachel is beautiful, has a boyfriend and is way out of his league, but this doesn't stop Charles.
This is a wonderful bittersweet romance and I would recommend this to anyone who ever loved someone who was just beyond their reach.
The Rachel Papers is a showcase film intended to introduce the world to Dexter Fletcher whose obvious appeal is he is Mick Jagger at 16 if Mick Jagger could be sixteen again.

 The Rachel Papers Movie Rewind «
The Rachel Papers of the title refer to our lead charactor's unusual and slightly disturbing technique of keeping detailed notes and images on his home computer of all the women he has or wishes to seduce, and of one particularly mysterious and older American girl called Rachel Noyce (Ione Skye).
He does not have it all easy however, as Rachel has an older boyfriend in tow (James Spader in typically smarmy mode), and of course she has to get past Norman, Charle's knuckle scraping brother-in-law.

 The Rachel Papers (1989)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Charles Highway is an irritating character but still quite lovable and the movie does him, nor Rachel (who is actually supposed to be English) no justice.
Martin Amis is a talented author, especially in the area of humour, and this movie does not allow for that natural laugh to come through.
It is too bad Amis let whatever it is that got in the way of a good film, get in the way of a good film.
