Final Destination 3 The Book

I loved the movie, and I started obsessing over it and when I found out there was a book I just had to get it. So I did, and I was extremely happy with it. It described the characters very well, and the words and how Christa Faust worded everything was just amazing. I read little sections of the book all the time, just like I watch the movie all the time. Very good book overall. If you loved the movie, or any other movie from the series and haven't seen the third, I suggest you do and read the book. People who loved FD3 will love this.

Exceptional story from a simplistic plot.

This is my first review, and normally I wouldn't write one, but I felt like it was due-time. I got this book figuring that the reviews online seemed very high for a movie concept so played out, so I decided to find out for myself. I was happily surprised to find such a good read. Christa Faust did an exlemplary job making something big out of something... well, not so big. The characters, of which in movies nowadays get butchered (no pun intended) by stereotypes, have much more depth as each is explained. There would be no way to know these things by just watching the movie, and I'm certainly glad I read this book before seeing the movie. I only wish that they would've added the connection between Wendy and Kevin in the movie, and shown a bit more of their anguish and confusion while missing their partners. Same with Erin's thoughts on Ian. But since it is Hollywood and all, I'm overlooking those simple things and am just thankful that the book made up for it. To anyone who needs excitement, passion, suspense, terror, and would prefer it come from a more in depth point of view, I highly recommend this book to you.

Early Draft Script

To those of you who don't understand the title, what I'm simply saying is this book was written when the first draft (or an earlier draft at least) was the only thing available. The ending in the book is different from the ending you'll get if you see the film. As with any book based on Final Destination, whether it be the series or the novelizations of the screenplays, there's obvious problems with the editing, which, despite it's annoyance at times, I was able to look over and easily figure out what the writer meant (although, I will say the editor might want to be much more careful in the future). This is basically the movie with, as I said before, a different ending, a variation on one of the death scenes, and another death scene that they changed completely from the movie (which I'm glad about... the death was WAY out there, and despite it being cool, there's no way it would or could ever happen in real life). Unlike the movie we also have more character development, and, unlike Roryman seemed to realize, books go through characters feelings, hence the reason it's a book, the author just can tell what they're feeling at the moment, and not everyone cares to overlook it. Much like you'd expect, the death scenes, despite the things I said before, are very cool. The one that they changed from the book was probably changed for fear of seeming to similar to one of the deaths in the earlier films (I won't say what happens or who it happens to for those of you who haven't seen the originals). As before, there's the Rube Goldberg-esque things leading up to the death sequences, which to me, are just as cool as the deaths themselves (this, in my opinion, is where just as much creativity comes out as does with the deaths themselves). Overall, a good book, with a bad ending (if you like the book but don't like the ending, go ahead and go see the movie, the ending they have now is alot better), but it still comes out as strong as the film, if not just a bit stronger because of the actual character development, as well as some scenes that set up things you won't be able to see in the film.

Great and as for the other guy.....

Okay first of all this was a great novwel i expect this to be better then the movie! it was just great in all its stages and everything was just fantastic. As for the other guy:its the editers fault not christa's so lay it off it was a great damn book although everyone is entitled to there own opinion thats just mine.
