4.0 out of 5 stars
My take on Aliens: Labrynith...5 years on...(4.5 stars),
By Brynn Huxtable (Durban, S.A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Labyrinth (Aliens) (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book in 2000 when I was just 12 years old. I read my old review and found it really sketchy and childish (hey, I was 12!) but surprisingly everybody found the review helpful.
Anyway, I had a look over the book again the other day, and I must admit that S.D Perry did a great job at creating an immersive, strange story. The ending to the book is quite depressing but is an anti-climax, so although I felt pretty bad about it, it was an ending I didn't expect, which is fantastic! To write a Sci-Fi book on such a popular franchise must be extremely difficult, and I think S.D Perry has executed this book with great gusto. He clearly has a great knowledge of the series and has an ability to write extremely well, and evokes real and honest emotions through his careful technique. You certainly feel a connection with Crespi and other characters as well; and when something happens to any of them you truly feel a sense of sadness or loss. In my opinion, that is the mark of a masterful writer. Perry certainly gets 10/10 for his execution of the story. The storyline is also complex, unique and immersing. You certainly won't get books like this very often, so it's undoubtedly worth the read, even if you just get it from your local library. I can still remember some scenes and situations from the book that have stayed with me since the 7th grade, and now I'm finishing High School! It really is just fantastic. So "Aliens: Labrynith" gets 4.5/5 or 9/10. It isn't suitable for young readers (even though I was 12 when I read it. Ee-hee!) It's a great introduction to the books or the franchise and reveals alot about the human society and the Alien Social structure. A very good read for fans of the Alien Series and Sci-Fi fans alike...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Where credit is due.,
This review is from: Labyrinth (Aliens) (Mass Market Paperback)
Aliens Labyrinth is an outstanding tale , probably the best spin off novelization from the original movie bloodline. I don't want to give the plot away too much but as the name suggests there is a labyrinth ...the story itself, the scenarios tightly weaved , the sharp twists and turns and surprise ending . I personally found that much of the 'horror ' of the story disturbed me immensley , It captures the original desperate spirit of the original movie and expands upon it ,leaving your skin cold and blood chilled. Here is an important detail ... I'd like to commend JIM WOODRING for writing this truely outstanding story , when you buy this novel you may note in the small print a mention of his name , alternatively you could look out for the original graphic novel version of this book , beautifully illustrated by Kilian Plunkett and proper credit given to the storys true author . The SD Perry adaptation of the story is fair enough , in many ways it reminds me of Karioke but in a literary way.
