Great book and great narration. Gives way more detail and insight into character motivations and personality including the alien. If u love the movies you’ll love this

Really good

This is just a novelisation of the movie, but even then I’d expect something a bit more from the book version, like giving the characters more personality, for one thing. It wouldn’t be a departure from the movie to imbue each character with the personality that the actors gave them. This was just bland and not well written. The bits where there should be suspense failed miserably. Just blah. Stick with the movie.

Adds nothing to the experience
