Richard Kendrick Wrote:Yes, I have noticed that too. Prey and Timeline were both like that. I enjoyed them though. I expect to see Prey as movie. Did you think he left that one hanging out there for a sequel? (I know you read it)
fpw Wrote:If you look at the structure of Prey, it's a classic horror novel, and has some chilling, creepy scenes.Agreed, I liked PREY a lot, flew through it and having been wishing for a sequel.
lisa Wrote:I actually liked both PREY and TIMELINE. I probably liked TIMELINE a bit better but they were both good.As much as I liked PREY, I liked TIMELINE even more. I've read it twice. TIMELINE is a perfect example of the book being much, MUCH better than the movie, which I realize is the opposite of the point of this thread.

Just wanted to start a new thread on this topic as the old thread has been pulled out to sea.
Just finished reading Wiseguys and must admit, the movie Goodfellas was better than the book. As much as I liked all the details and characters in the book, the movie captured the feel and appeal of the book and took it one step further, thanks to Joe Pesci, et al. However, I still recommend Goodfellas fans to read Wiseguys between your F. Paul Wilson reads.

JF1ID Wrote:Ya beat me to that one, Mike... It's the first one that popped into my mind right off the bat. Blade Runner is probably my all time favorite film, there are so many layers to the story Ridley Scott created using the framework of the novel... although I gotta admit, I love the voice-over narration of the original theatrical release , it gives it that whole film noir kinda thing.I also agree with that. I prefer the original version. I don't care about all the stories that Ford did the voice-over poorly on purpose, etc. I'm holding out on buying the DVD until they release the original version.
