4.0 out of 5 stars Strictly for fans of the movie, April 13, 2002

This review is from: Virtuosity (Paperback)

In a good way, the book closely resembles the film. The downfall is it seems to be on the same reading level as 6th graders. While this broadens the reading audience, it limits the descriptive quality of the story.

I have to be one of the biggest fans of the movie, and this novel made up for things lack of Special Features in the DVD. So, in that sense, the novel included: "deleted scenes", "alternate/extended ending" and a little more insight into the movie itself. For fans of the movie, this alone is worth reading the book.
