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.
