Terminator 3 rocks

This book is the most thrilling and exciting book ever. It has awesome details to show the reader what is happening in the scene combined with an all ready spectacular plot this book is awesome and deserves all the complements it gets.The book tells an awesome story and has amazing events that will keep the reader reading intensly. The movie was also great but I think that reading the book before the movie sort of ruined the ending but all in all it was okay. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes to read and is a fan of the terminator series.An those who like the Governer of California.

Based on the Movie with A Little More Insight

I watched Terminator 3 in the movies before I read the book. It was good to refresh my memory of the movie, because the movie was intense and, the way memory works, you inevitably forget certain important scenes.If you have not seen the movie, I would highly recommend the book. It describes many of the scenes in great detail. Also, some events in the movie that are a bit unclear are explained quite well in the book. For instance, when the T-X reprograms Terminator's memory system, it would seem as though it would be impossible for the Terminator to be on John Conner's side again. But the book explains that the Terminator re-booted his computer system, and thus was able to have a fresh start. In the movie, this is not explained at all, and the Terminator just comes back to save John Conner, which appears puzzling since he was, at that point in time, programmed to harm John Conner.The book is very action-focused - with very vivid descriptions of the actions that are occuring. I am actually quite impressed with the ability to write a book based on a movie of this complexity -- and still make it very readable, exciting, and a fun read. -- Michael GordonLos Angeles

Book is great - Movie even better!

I read this novel on a plane trip cross country. This book kept me spellbound. Riveting and pulsating don't come close to describe the story.The book is extremely well written and as the story unfolds, all else that is going on becomes meaningless.I also went to see the movie last night. Knowing how the story ended took some of the fun out of the movie, but not much.Non stop action, much like a Indiana Jones movie only even better and the sexy Terminatrix who is both beautiful and scary. I highly recommend the book and don't miss the movie.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

I receieved this novel today, and from the moment i picked it up i didn't put it down until i finished it, bar from a real inconvient exam. But on to the novel, the way the story is written is brilliant just the way it propels you into the story its as if your taking a back seat. a very good read! can't wait to see it on the big screen.
