Written AFTER The Movie and STILL Great!

Rarely do you find a book that is witten AFTER a movie is made. This allows you to see how the special effects are described in words as opposed to pictures. This also allow your imagination to do some of the work that movies would normally do. Even if you seen the movie, this book will allow you to sit back and enjoy it all over again. Your imagination will take over because it will be hard for you to remember every detail of the movie, especially if you haven't seen it in a while.

As awesome as the movie!!!

I must hand it to Whitley Strieber. I thought nothing could top the sheer intensity and excitement of The Day After Tomorrow in the theater. And nothing can! His book, however, equals it in suspense and drama. Well done!

A Great novelization.

I have seen some previews for "The Day after Tomorrow" and when I saw that the novelization I new that I had to read. Now, after reading the book, I can't wait to see the movie. If the the movie is half as good as the book, then this will be a great movie.

WOW!!

I got this because I was curious about the movie. It seems that the author who wrote this also wrote another book, Superstorms, that it says on the cover inspired the movie. I sat down with the Day After Tomorrow and it just plain swept me away. These books written based on movies are usually rank garbage, but this was created by a master, that is very clear. The writing just soars, it is moving, it is scary, it presents the characters as complex people, the descriptions are wonderful.Frankly, this book belongs between hardcovers. It should never have been issued like this as a knockoff book, even though it is based on the script. This is a completely enthralling and fabulous piece of thriller writing. And as far as the movie is concerned, after reading this, I would not miss it for anything.
