Customer Reviews

solid and deep but abrupt

Alien - 5 star awesomeness Aliens - 5 star awesomeness Alien 3 - 4 star coolness The novelization of the first two Alien novels were bang-on action, just like the movies, of which I'm a huge fan. Love 'em! The third novelization (meaning a book written from the movie) was full of detail, history and filler all throughout. Many things are explored deeply, while the movie just touched upon a few things. Unfortunately, the ending was too abrupt for such a great space saga. Ripley's journey through three Alien movies/books ends in a bit of a disappointment from its abruptness.

Are you in prison novels? This is a good one

Would you buy the book of the first Alien movie after watching it? Nope, me neither. But with this book things do change. Not because the movie is bad (though it was not; if you think the opposite, it may be time to refine your cinematique taste) but the story is so capturing and well told that you never regret your time and money spent at the bookstore.

Much better than the movie

Alien 3 is a bad movie, and is definitely the worst of the four. But the book is fantastic. It is much more in depth than the movie and easily explains everything that the movie didn't. This book is suspenseful to say the least. You won't be able to help yourself from reading on.

BUY THIS BOOK! IF YOURE A TRUE ALIEN FAN.

I bought this book and I didnt regret it, its the best Alien movie book, its better than resurrection. The alien 3 book has much more to it than the movie, you'll wanna read this book in a day. This book has the most suspense you'll ever read. I recommend this book to anyone who didnt like the alien 3 movie, you'll love the book, its just that good. Buy it!

The Best Alien Novel Out Of The Current 4

So you didn't like the film. Thought it was the worst of all time. The book must be bad too, right ? Wrong. This is by far the best of the four Alien novels - definately the most terrifying. It is a compulsive page turner, and quite different from the film. I strongly advise that you read this novel. It is terriffyingly realistic and will keep you looking above your head, at the ceiling, for weeks.
