MEDIA REVIEWS
The book does something that adaptations so rarely do - take a classic adventure (written by Lawrence Kasdan no less) and make it that bit better. Welcome to the galaxy Mur LaffertyThis is a novelisation that needs to be experienced,better yet to be felt.Slick and playfulThe book stands alone as its own work of art that simply can't be compared (extensively) to the script from which it was derivedDefinitely recommended for fans and people who want more depth in the story
