about the 1st review (tommys)

By the way, the original 1950s version was only about 95% better than the re-make, which is why i had a problem with the comment. Thank You

Very Good

If you liked the 1978 version of Invasion of the body snatchers, than you'll love this book! I was at the edge of my seat reading this. It took me all day but it was worth it. I recomend buying this book because then you can let all your friends borrow it!
