Do you think the movie will even come close to being as good as the book? I personally can't wait to see it, but I'm ready for a letdown as well.

My wife read it and told me to start reading it immediately, despite already reading 2 other books. From what she says, it's Michael C.'s best and most thoroughly researched book. I'm very interested myself.

they should make a movie from prey
better book imo
and i've read every MC novel to date
The book was AWESOME, and I can't wait for the movie...
Hopefully it will be as good as Jurassic Park, even though the book was 100x better then the movie, the movie did do the book justice.

IMHO, terminal man is crichton's best book that i read, with sphere maybe coming really close.
yes, timeline was good, but i just couldn't help but cringe when i read the obvious hollywood cliches, for examples, heroes that do amazing tricks and escape death at the last moment... and the ending... ugh... so even though i'm expecting an average movie, it's still on my "must see" list.

I didn't think Timeline was as good as JP but if the translation from book to film is as good it should be well worth watching.
