Nether realm
The fact that the book was a very easy read does not diminish the overall quality of this satirical masterpiece. If you do not love this, you must be in the NRA or just love mass murders.

This book reads more like a screenplay than a novel
I have not seen the movie DR. STRANGELOVE yet, because I wanted to read the book first. Unfortunately, the book turned out to be nothing more than an extended treatment of the screenplay. The characters themselves were unremarkable and undistinguishable. Most of the comedy seemed flat, largely because it was based on sight gags rather than situational humor. Even...

I have not seen the movie DR. STRANGELOVE yet, because I wanted to read the book first. Unfortunately, the book turned out to be nothing more than an extended treatment of the screenplay. The characters themselves were unremarkable and undistinguishable. Most of the comedy seemed flat, largely because it was based on sight gags rather than situational humor. Even though this book was based on the movie, the movie's screenplay was originally inspired by another Peter George novel, RED ALERT. Peter George worked with Stanley Kubrick and Terry Southern to write the screenplay.

Extraterestial's viewpoint,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr. Strangelove, Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Twentieth-Century Classics) (Paperback)
I read this book back in the 70's and it was the best interpretation of an extraterestial's viewpoint that I have ever seen. I've only read around six books or at least finished six. This book should have been made into a movie. Renald L. P. Neault
