Summary: Amusing as the movie
Comment: What I like form this book is that it fulfills the three categories that I like from a movie book:
1. It's got tons of pics from behind the scenes.
2. It's got a funny agent's manual supplement for you MIB fans(Not to mention the thorough coverage on the making & cast & crew).
3. It's got the script.
What else could you expect?

Comment: MEN IN BLACK

Men in Black, by John Harvey, is about a young New York policeman, who thinks he knows about everything in the world. However one day he chases down a criminal who turns out to be an alien. He tells his story when he is questioned, but no one believes him. Later, a man in a black suit and tie recruits him to be a member of the Men in Black, an organization that hides and regulates alien activity so the people of earth won't learn the truth. After he joins the Men in Black, he is given the name "Agent Jay." He realizes how little the people of earth know compared to what they think they know. Just a few days ago, he thought he knew everything, but compared to the knowledge of the world he has now, he knew nothing. Jay gains access to high-tech equipment such as cars, weapons, tracking devices, and other gadgets from all over the universe. His goal is to stop an alien spacecraft from firing on Earth by returning to them a necklace, called "The Galaxy." He battles a giant roach creature with his partner Kay. They are able to recover the Galaxy and save the planet. This book is very well written. The story is exciting and mysterious and gives good insight about the way we view and think about the world. Although the book is based on a movie, Harvey adds extra scenes and explains events that were not explained in the movie. For example, he explains how the Men in Black organization first started. Harvey uses a lot of slang words and makes sarcastic comments about some of the characters. He has a great sense of humor. The moral of this story is that we shouldn't always assume we know everything. Soon what we think is impossible will be normal. For example, people think they know that aliens don't exist, but in the story aliens are normal. The author has a very good point.
