4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, relatively short read, December 3, 2004

This review is from: Westworld (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book in a used bookstore and read it, having not seen the movie. It did help with the movie (which itself is good) when I did see it, as it delved a little more deeply into what was going on (as books always do). The concept is vintage Crichton: a new technology (in this case, a theme park populated by robots) seems great, but then begins to go wrong in life-threatening ways (the robots become too independant, chasing the humans around). It's a fun, short read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Westworld script, October 21, 2008

Seems to be confusion over this book. It's written as the script/screenplay for the movie, "Westworld." Just saw the "Making of Westworld" video feature on Youtube where Crichton says in an interview, that the story of "Westworld" just didn't work as a book, and that he always saw it presented as a film. (He wrote this screenplay and directed the feature) Unless I'm wrong, the paperback was issued as a companion piece to the movie, which was a big earner for MGM in 1973. I read it in high school, and it was the first piece I'd ever read hat was formatted like an actual movie script. Glad to find it again on Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars My copy was different, November 27, 2006

I bought a "used" copy here, and it seems that mine was different than what other reviewers have seen. Mine was the actual script of the movie, with notations and all. But it was in a paperback book form. I really wanted the novel version.
