Even though it's the novelization of the movie (which usually vary in quality from very good to very bad), I loved this book. It was a fun, easy read and fast paced. I loved the way it was written. ( )

I liked the movie, and the book was cheap, so how bad could it be I thought to myself. The answer is terrible. Its in a big font with large margins, and still only a little over 200 pages long (in other words really short), however its not very well written either, which means that's merciful. The book is full of discussion of how under dressed the young women that is the Fifth Element is. The. Whole. Time. Not the worst book I've ever read, but certainly not one I will read again. Oh and what's with lines like "the search engines cranked and groaned"? Groan. Oh and what's with lines like "the search engines cranked and groaned"? Groan.

Great visuals and humor. Perfect woman equals emaciated teenager clothed only in bandages = bad, perfect woman kicks ass until they shoot at her then she cries and hero has to carry = very very bad. Love the blue woman singing ( )

Book description
Every five thousand years, a door opens between the dimensions. In one dimension lies the universe and all its multitude of various life forms.
In another exists an element made not of earth, air, fire or water, but of anti-energy, anti-life. This "thing," this darkness, waits patiently at the threshold of the universe for the opportunity to extinguish all life and all light.
Every five thousand years, the universe needs a hero, and in New York City of the 23rd Century, a good hero is hard to find.
The Fifth Element, a timeless story about loe and survival, heroes and villains, good and evil, set in a strangely familiar yet intoxicatingly different 23rd Century.
