Summary: Even better than the novelization of "Predator"!!!
Comment: A faithful adaptation of a truly terrifying horror film (with 8 pages of movie photos!), the novelization of "Jason Lives" goes one step further: it offers a glimpse into Jason's life BEFORE the tragic summer at Camp Crystal Lake.

In a particularly well-written scene, young Jason gets even with a neighborhood bully. The unlucky lad is at Jason's DISPOSAL, if you get my drift.

Even more shocking (and a plot-thread I wish they'd incorporated in the film series) is the graveside appearance of Jason's father. The description of Mr. Voorhees subtly foreshadows the revelation of otherworldly influences on Jason's life.

The novel also does a stellar job of fleshing out Tommy Jarvis as a character, and gives some emotional resonance to the poor camp counselors who become Jason's latest victims (Cort, in particular, is my favorite).

If you're a fan of Jason, don't miss this book!

Summary: Garbage.
Comment: Simon Hawke attempts to make a silk purse from a sow's ear, namely the script to Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part 6. Tommy Jarvis tries to fry Jason's remains, but only brings the serial killer back to life. Whoops. Hawke brings none of the movie's humor to the book, presenting everything in a melodramatic style so overblown it could be read as satire. Stictly for Jasonites or fans of bad books, if any are out there.

Summary: This book rocks
Comment: I am not all the way finished with this book yet, but I've skipped ahead and glanced at a few chapters, and what I've read so far is cool. This is the best novelization of a Friday the 13th movie(and there aren't many of them). Simon Hawke is an excellent writer who also does a few others for the Jason movies. This book lends details the movie never even hinted at, including Jason having memories of his childhood. If you like this sequel, read the book for a great supplement. Also, there's a suprise cameo ending at the end I heard of and had to skip ahead and glance over briefly(not to spoil too much of the suprise for me). It was in the script originally, but Paramount cut the scene before it was shot, I heard( gotta love them, eh?). This book is out of print, but several copies are available on Ebay, and I even found one in a used book store by me. Get it !
