Rehash of movie

If you’ve watched the movie, then you wont get much more from this book. It’s almost as if the movie was transcribed. Disappointed, since I wanted more of the aliens origin backstory..,

Thoroughly enjoyed it

I've read this book years ago and enjoyed it then. This version, narrated by Peter Guinness, is well worth listening to. I definitely recommend it.

Great read

Narrator was great except for when he did the exclamations, those sounded pretty funny. Great story though
