Fantastic, thrilling... An EXCELLENT novelization!
24 Jun 1998
Format:Hardcover
Now from the most anticipated movie of the year is the Godzilla Novelization! I saw the movie a couple of days ago, and then I read the book. The book is WAY better than the movie, although I must say Matthew Broderick did fantastic and the special effects were da bomb. The reasons the book is better is that it gives more in-depth description of the characters nad you can imagine yourself being there without a movie showing you where you are. It gives you a chance to play the movie in your mind.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves sci-fi novels or movies and anyone who is bored to the max. And I would also like to point out that Stephen Molstad did a fantastic job with the novelization job directly from the screenplay. He also did the books for ID4 and the sequel/prequel to ID4, The Silent Zone, which is also a very good book. I would also point out that the final movie art is on the cover of the books now.
I also recommend reading the making of Godzilla and kids could read this book because there is a very little amount of bad words, but the words are big (as in they couldn't understand them). There is a Scholastic novelization to the movie, too for kids that is much shorter than this book.
Godzilla
9 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
ISBN 0590572121 - Because Amazon has this weird tendency to lump things together, I am reviewing the Godzilla version from Scholastic, for kids, ISBN 0590572121. I mention that because my review, followed by some other edition reviews, it might confuse a few people!
This book, labeled for ages 5-8 on the back cover, is really not suited to 5 year olds. There's too much text, and too many large words. If, however, the 5 year old in question has seen the movie (the 1998 remake), then maybe. Otherwise, despite it's size, it seems more appropriate for the 9 and up group.
As a result of atomic bomb tests by the French government, all life on the islands of French Polynesia has been destroyed - except one egg. This egg grew, and changed, transformed by radiation. When it hatched, a new creature was born.
Scientific research into the effects of radiation is Dr. Nick Tatopoulos' great love, and he has a theory. Radiation can cause some animals to grow to enormous proportions. Whisked away from his studies, Nick and the military begin to hunt down the creature from the islands. They have to stop it, before it's too late.
Filled with pictures from the movie, young fans may find it enjoyable. For older readers, it's just another telling of Jurassic Park, right down to the "something survived" ending. Still, in the end, if it will get a kid to read a book, it can't possibly be all that bad.
