This is the only movie I've ever seen that had a novelization better than the movie. But that isn't too surprising, since the novelization was written by OrsonScottCard?, writer of a significant fraction of my favorite books. I can't do a detailed review of the book, unfortunately, as I loaned it to my dad several years ago, and he lost it. If anyone comes across a copy of it, you should grab it. It's worth it. It's worth it just for the in-depth characterisation alone, which really helps you to understand why the characters in the movie do what they do. -AdamField |
