Do You Like Novelizations; if So, what are some of your faves?

I do. I include the following as being favourites of mine.

"2001 : A Space Odyssey" by Arthur C. Clarke

"Love Over Gold" by Susannah James

"Star Wars" (1977) by Alan Dean Foster ghost-writing for Georoge Lucas

"Halloween" by Curtis Richards.

I didn't realize Alan Dean Foster wrote the novelization for Star Wars. I might have to check that out.

I also heard a rumor he wrote the Star Trek the Motion Picture novelization instead of Gene Roddenberry. I would say the best Star Trek movie novelization I've read. Vonda McIntyre's Wrath of Khan is very good, too.

The Black Hole is also by Alan Dean Foster and it's a surprisingly good novelization.

He also wrote Alien and Aliens, both fine novelizations.

And the novelization for John Carpenter's The Thing. Wish I had held on to that one.

He does seem to dominate novelizations of SF/horror films.

I agree about Alien and Aliens and their quality. I am really eager to read The Thing.
