Important note: I read the original script / screenplay of Interstellar that Jonathan Nolan wrote in 2008, keeping Spielberg in mind as the director. When Christopher picked it up in 2012, he made massive changes (massive!!! And beautiful).

I'm in absolute awe of Christopher Nolan and his team. The how and, more importantly, why he made the changes that he did. Phenomenal.

I have the soft copy of the original script, if anyone needs.

I don’t think the book added anything new, and yet the story is so good that I was more than happy to devour it again in another medium.

Never saw the film, so the story was new to me. I thought the author did a good job of storytelling as well as character building and his descriptions of the various venues (both future Earth and the other planets) were well done. I liked the ending as well, with many threads satisfactorily resolved.

Now this book is completely based on the movie, but even after watching the movie for 6-7 times, I didn't get bored, primarily the reason for engagement is you get to know the psyche of these characters, just like a novel, you always get to know what's going on in their minds when they are saying something or feeling something. Sometimes I feel like this was better in a way than watching the movie but then a movie comes with sound and visuals and actors performing what you are reading but this book still captures my attention fully. Now I wouldn't say anything about the writing style other than that it is pretty basic, it is a very easy read, which I liked. Even after watching the movie a day before I started reading this, I was still hooked to it. Now this maybe a plus point for the story which is from Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan. So you know a nice story with some internal thoughts and also some scientific explanations which helps you understand the story very well. Overall I enjoyed this book very much and I am completely biased that's why I am giving it 5 stars.
