It's been said that the ultimate compliment you can extend to a tv writer/producer is to do an adaption to his material. Well, "Close Encounters" does that to Steven Spielberg, Chris Carter, and the filmmaking team behind ID4. First the timing and premise of the book struck me as peculiar.

This review is from: Close Encounters the Secret World of Alex Mack 18 (Alex Mack) (Paperback)
It's been said that the ultimate compliment you can extend to a tv writer/producer is to do an adaption to his material. Well, "Close Encounters" does that to Steven Spielberg, Chris Carter, and the filmmaking team behind ID4. First the timing and premise of the book struck me as peculiar. The story of alien encounters was obviously written in response to the popularity of INDEPENDANCE DAY. The fact that the story takes place in the California desert close to the infamous Area 51 seemed to contrived.
The male/female duo of FBI agents who investigate paranormal phenomena is straight from Carter's X-FILES.
And at last, the title is lifted from Steven Spielberg's monumental 1977 film.
In short, the story was a quick, fun read; but it needed a good dose of originality---beginning with the title!
