Summary: NOT BAD, NOT BAD
Comment: A taxi driver, a monk, a D.J., and a supreme being are thrown together into the battle to save earth from Evil, a giant ball of volcanic rock plumeting towards our world.

The novelization contains Bisson's usual rich prose, but the mostly visual film doesn't exactly translate all that well to written form.

Most of the humor comes from a wacky narrative in the style of Douglas Adams.

About half way through the book, extreme differences from the film appear. It makes one wonder if the studio ever updated Bisson on script changes.

The story itself is fun. The characters often goofy. But differences from the film somewhat deter our interest.

But it's not all that bad.

Summary: It filled in the holes....but
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. I loved the movie, and througout the reading of the book I kept asking myself whether it was written before, or after the movie was made. I think I will go with after. This book could have been a script for the movie, many of the character's lines are exactly the same as they were in the movie. But the book has some endearing moments between the two main characters which were not included in the movie. There were also some MAJOR plot changes, but I won't give them away. I had read (on the internet) about a similar book that had both this story and the other half "Mister Shadow" written together, along with a dictionary of the language leeloo speaks. I have yet to find this book, and am sure I will enjoy it as much as I did this version. I can't wait to see Luc Besson's newest project (which also stars Milla Jovovich (Leeloo)) "Joan of Arc."
