about the 1st review (tommys)

I dont know why you said "if you like the 1978 version of the film you'll love this book" when this book is the script for the 1956 version, directed by Don Siegal (who later directed "Dirty Harry"). By the way, the original 1950s version was only about 95% better than the re-make, which is why i had a problem with the comment. Thank You

Very Good

If you liked the 1978 version of Invasion of the body snatchers, than you'll love this book! I was at the edge of my seat reading this. It took me all day but it was worth it. I recomend buying this book because then you can let all your friends borrow it!
