Summary: Good, but...
Comment: I was unable to watch "Taken" when it first aired, however, I was able to watch the current replaying that was on Sci-Fi last September to November on Sundays. I couldn't wait till the next episode would air, and I bought the DVD box set after only seeing the first four episodes and watched all ten episodes in less than a week. Since I liked the mini-series, I thought that I would give this book a try, knowing that the ending was different becuase of the other reviews that I read before buying the book. After reading the book, I would have to say that I liked the mini-series much better than I did the book. The book skips scenes that I thought were important in the mini-series (Allie healing Charlie's bullet wound) or were combined with previous scenes. The book dose not even tell you that Allie healed Charlie's bullet wound (as stated above) or even that Allie knew that Charlie was her dad until the part when Tom makes his apperance near the end. The reader does not even know how Charlie got out of the office all right after being shot. One of the weaker novelizations that I have ever read.

Summary: Why is their a different endind?
Comment: Duh. The ending on Taken: the novel by Thomas Cook is different from the ending on the tv mini-series by Steven Speilberg. I think that what people don't nottice is that the book is copy writen and came out somewhere from the end of october to november (according to the copy rights on the fourth page of the book). This means that the ending and the character development would be different because it would be like giving away the story before the series comes out. I am sure that alot of people may not have been so attracted to the series if they did not make it a little different.

Summary: Taken
Comment: I haven't seen the series, and I can only hope it is as good as this book. The plot pulled me in and the characters came to life on the page. Although, many people are complaining about the end, but I think the end was just fine. For you people who want to know what happened to Allie at the end, take a look at the title of the book. My only problem with the book was the grey's motives. The explanation for the abductions was absurd. For anyone who isn't a hard-core, let's-all-go-to-Roswell UFO fan, I highly reccommend this book. Anyone who doesn't fit in that catagory should read something that isn't "fiction" (I've heard the Blue Book is good).
