One of the best movie novelizations I have ever read

I watched the movie twice before I read this book and I recently reread it again. Unlike so many other novelizations of movies that are poorly written and appear to be little more than a cheap attempt to capitalize on the popularity of the movie, this one is good. The writing is splendid and the story keeps very close to the action in the movie. It also fleshes out the action a little bit by giving some background on the history of Mad Max, Aunty Entity and Master. If you have seen the original movie, then the information on Max will not be new, however if you haven't, then it will be helpful. This is one of the best movie novelizations that I have ever read.

Better than the movie...obviously

This book is obviously and almost always is better than the movie.The movie wasn't as violent as the book,In fact if Miller had followed the sript this movie would have been rated R rather than PG-13.It is almost exactly the same as the movie with little things removed from them.Such as The Collector,In the movie he lives and in the novel,Aunty's tower falls on him.The movie also has the leg brace on his leg from "The Road Warrior" but is still a good reader.
