Summary: Cash making sequel a guilty pleasure.
Comment: Producer/Director Irwin Allen, eager to score a hit after flopping with the embarrassing failure of The Swarm, evidently backed Paul Gallico into a corner and sweet talked the author into penning a sequel to The Poseidon Adventure that would hopefully stimulate interest in financing another Poseidon Adventure feature film. Gallico, either making up the concept himself or working from ideas sculpted by Allen's screenwriters, cooked up a moderately entertaining sequel to the movie itself, rather than his novel, which ended quite differently. It's better written than one would expect for something with such crass origins, and, in a humorous touch, Gallico dedicated the novel to Mr. Allen. Recommended to Poseidon Adventure buffs only.

Rating: 2
Summary: Gallico sold out!
Comment: Schlocky sequel...author admittedly penned this just to satisfy Filmmaker's lust for a movie version (which was an ultimate bomb, too). Not only is it a follow up to the film THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (NOT to his excellent original book), but it's a bad one! Contrived silliness from such a talented writer...might have some appeal for diehard fans of the original movie.

Rating: 5
Summary: great plot and far superior to the movie beyond the poseidon
Comment: this is great it is much better than the movie beyond the poseidon adventure
