Alien 3 [novelization]

This was good! I had enjoyed the third movie more than some Alien fans, although it doesn't hold a candle to the first two. It's the fourth that makes me shudder. I had listened to an audio version from Audible years ago that was utterbly forgettable and poorly rated, but reading this was entertaining. Stayed interesting through and through - from what I remember, it follows the movie pretty faithfully. I need to rewatch the film now as it's been some years and change. I have heard the fourth book is better than the movie, I know Alan Dean Foster didn't write that one, so we'll see.

The third instalment in the Alien franchise, poor Ripley just can't catch a break, after escaping for the second time, once again she finds herself trapped somewhere with a alien. This time it's a slightly different version after incubating in a mutated ox.

Various machinations follow, not as atmospheric as the last two but nonetheless a good sci fi romp.

Alien III by William Gibson and narrated by a full cast, including the original "Hicks" and "Bishop". Love the cover art too! The first few minutes gets the listener oriented to where in the story plot things are happening. Then the new material is presented. It is fast paced, exciting, and wonderful just what I have come to expect and love from all the Alien movies!
The full cast with the music was just like watching a movie ( with my eyes closed, lol)!

Several years ago I bought a truckload of books from some guy on Craigslist. A ton of hardcovers and a bunch of paperbacks.

I put the majority of them up on Paperbackswap.com and got rid of them, but I still have about 2-3 shelves of books I haven't been able to get rid off. In the wintertime I can't take my ereader to work [as I work outside and sub-freezing weather doesn't agree with the ereader], so I fall back on paperbooks.

I've seen Aliens, so wanted to see what happened after and I needed a book to read at lunch.

Bleh. Stilted and boring....
