Having seen the movie when I was a kid, I found it’s mystery and sci-fi/horror elements to be exciting and intriguing. That’s why, reading this book, I was looking for answers to all the holes and flaws in the movie. By and large, the book provided them. But at the same time, I found it to be much more flawed than I’d hoped for, especially in its slowness (it was way too long) and its oddly anti-climactic ending. I found the conceptual aspect of the aliens compelling, but I just felt sort of let down by the end.

The book is pretty long. It felt like it took me forever to read it. Some parts are unnecessarily long, but for the purpose of expanding upon the backstory that is needed for the five main characters and their connection. It was a really cool book, but I just feel like it took so long to read lol
