Even if you seen the movie; read this book.

This is a very fast read. I loved the movie and like the book. It covers some areas that are not in the movie (would have just slowed the movie down). This book is well written for a moive spin-off. It would be a great intro book for someones entry into SciFi. A great book for the beach.

like too many novels based on movies [as opposed to movies based on novels], this rendition tries to fill in, for no apparent reason, completely irrelevant details. I hate to say it, but wow...the movie is much better! If you have access to a DVD player, watch the ENHANCED version of the movie, as it clarifies in about 9 extra minutes of footage, so many plot-idiocies of the theater and VHS release. The book is ok, but not excellent, hence, 4 *'s.
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

I read the book countless times and watched the movie goodness knows how many times, and still it leaves me awed. This is the kind of book I'll bring wherever I go. The idea of all humanity coming together is an idea that will sit in your mind always.

INEPENDENCE DAY DELIVERS THE GOODS IN AN EXPLOSIVE WAY
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
The aliens are coming! The aliens are coming! Well actually they aren't, but that is the concept of the book Independence Day based on the blockbuster film of the same name. The book was written by Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin the team who wrote the screenplay, as well as Stephen Rmolstad. The premise of the story is that on July 2, 1996 a strange phenomena begin to appear over major cities in the world. The phenomena begin to cause worldwide panic and wonder about our unknown visitors. And now the fun begins. This book has great detail and paints stunning visuals to the reader. The authors descriptions get you to believe how real this could be. When the phenonema begin appearing there is a weird disturbance in the satellite systems. Soon thereafter it is discovered that the signal is really a countdown, and when the countdown ends, you guessed it, the aliens attack. This book is fun from beginning to end. A thrill and pure enjoyment to read, I would recommend this book to any fan of the Sci-fi genre. A sort of "War Of The Worlds" for the 90's, "Independence Day" will deliver the goods in an explosive way. By Matt Crandall
