Very happy with service all was done quickly and on time. The shipment arrived at my home in excellent condition. Will do this again Amazon is just the best.

This is a very fast read. I loved the movie and like the book. It covers some areas that are not in the movie (would have just slowed the movie down). This book is well written for a moive spin-off. It would be a great intro book for someones entry into SciFi. A great book for the beach.

. . . and a great mind candy beach read for those lazy days on vacation, strap yourself in and prepare for impact! With scenes not in the movie(or will they be in the special edition DVD out soon?) the novelisation of the excellent alien invasion disaster epic is surprisingly well done for this type of spin-off. Stephen Molstad transposes the film characters into print very well in a cinematic style yet painting a more human picture of a cardboard character in places! This novel is also a good introduction for young adults to the world of'adult'fiction, in my view. Great if you want a good, easy-reading book with a bit of dramatic impact, also check out SILENT ZONE, an interesting prequel.

I read the book countless times and watched the movie goodness knows how many times, and still it leaves me awed. This is the kind of book I'll bring wherever I go. The idea of all humanity coming together is an idea that will sit in your mind always.

Watch the movie first for the breathtaking special effects. Only then if you're interested, should you buy the book, because it has a few more details in it. I pity those who bought the hardcover.

like too many novels based on movies [as opposed to movies based on novels], this rendition tries to fill in, for no apparent reason, completely irrelevant details. I hate to say it, but wow...the movie is much better! If you have access to a DVD player, watch the ENHANCED version of the movie, as it clarifies in about 9 extra minutes of footage, so many plot-idiocies of the theater and VHS release. The book is ok, but not excellent, hence, 4 *'s.

Independence day was a beautiful story. It was scary and it took me on a adventurous journey. It had my favorite fan in it "Will Smith"
