Customer Reviews

satisfying

I agree with a previous reviewer who wrote that if you loved the movie then this book is a must ( at least in a shippers eyes). How true. Actually, I'm a little surprised more fans haven't bought this little book ( or maybe they have and just didn't review it). The book helped clarify some elements of the plot for me too and gave ( albeit just a glimpse) into the two main characters feelings for each other. I have always thought of these two as " tragic" characters because of the enormous losses they have suffered and the sacrifices they have had to ( and in some cases chosen ) to make. To me it is only fitting that they would come to love each other but , of course, I'm a shipper :). At least there is a glimmer of hope at the end. My problem with this book: I wish it were 400 hundred pages and written by a great mystery writer who would give more insight into the characters and some of the haunting detail of the tv show. I have a feeling a book like that would sell well. I can dream can't I?

Every Shipper's Dream

Okay, so yes, the dialogue is a *bit* cheesy - but if you loved the movie, the book is a must. At least, in a shipper's eyes...

Great book!

I have been a fan of the show, "The X-Files", from the beginning. After reading several other "The X-Files" books by different authors, I found this one to be along the same lines in terms of creativity. It could have had a little more background information of the characters for those who may not be familiar with the story. Overall, I found the book to be very enjoyable.

I love the little extras in book

It actually helps fill in some of the tiny, tiny gaps in the story. simply because words carry that innate ability, but pictures leave it up to interpretation.

Great Book

This novelization of the new film The X-FIles: I Want To Believe is an excellent companion piece to the movie now in theaters for a price that's less than a movie ticket. The novel follows the story of the film closely, with a few additional interesting scenes and lines of dialogue. If you were confused about the plot, this book clears things up. It also gives some insight into character motivations that might not have been apparent from the film. It would be great if Chris Carter included some of these scenes in an extended edition DVD release of the movie. Definitely worth reading this book either way though.
