“Like many of Foster's novelizations, this book is solid, informative, knowledgeable, and entertaining.
I learned a few things I didn’t know about the business of novel adaptations and overall enjoyed the peek behind the curtain.
This is NOT a book to teach neophytes how to write books based on screenplays nor is it a book about the craft of writing—it's a book talking about the author's experiences in the trade of writing (and getting work in writing).”
“I'm old enough to remember the time before we were able to own or stream any movie and so I grew up as one of those kids who picked up any and every novelization he could find. I'll always say that I never want the story to really end, and the Alan Dean Foster was the name in movie novelizations starting with Star Wars, Aliens and the Star Trek animated adaptations. Obviously he is a gifted writer and it was incredible to hear the stories of all the great books he's written over the years.”
“I first encountered Mr. Foster when I read the novelization of Star Wars and then the pseudo-sequel Splinter of the Mind's Eye. They were probably the first "adult" novels I read when I was a kid. I loved them and knew that I had to read this book to see what the absolute master of novelizations had to say about it.”
