Awsome

I loved the movie & loved the book. It is a must read for any fa

It filled in the holes....but

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the movie, and througout the reading of the book I kept asking myself whether it was written before, or after the movie was made. I think I will go with after. This book could have been a script for the movie, many of the character's lines are exactly the same as they were in the movie. But the book has some endearing moments between the two main characters which were not included in the movie. There were also some MAJOR plot changes, but I won't give them away. I had read (on the internet) about a similar book that had both this story and the other half "Mister Shadow" written together, along with a dictionary of the language leeloo speaks. I have yet to find this book, and am sure I will enjoy it as much as I did this version. I can't wait to see Luc Besson's newest project (which also stars Milla Jovovich (Leeloo)) "Joan of Arc."

If you liked the movie, you'll love the book and vice versa.

This book is just good, solid, popcorn-munching fun! Of course, that's to be expected, since it's based on a good, solid, popcorn-munching fun movie. One thing I really likeed about the novelization is that it retains the tone and style of the film. The book reads and feels like a comic book. Even with written-in sound effects. It was a pleasure to read this book. It made me want to see the movie again!

This is about the Fifth Element

I have seen the movie,read the book,hung millions of pics of Milla in my room and absolutely love it! I recommend this book for any one interested in "future relates to past sci-fi".
