5.0 out of 5 stars Hawke Does A Perfect Adaptation!, Feb 9 2004

By

"theugly" (Greenwood, Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Friday The Thirteenth 05 Jason Lives (Paperback)

With this book Hawke has done pretty much a perfect adaptation of Friday the 13th Part 6. It follows the movie and has some extra stuff in it that helps the story flow even better.
It also delves deep into Jason's past with some great back-story and gives great into Jason's mind. Hawke tells a great horror story here. If you're a Friday the 13th fan, I HIGHLY recomend this book. This book could also make alot of non-Friday fans into fans. Hawke does a good job of telling the story of the best entry in the Friday series. Check this out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the novelization of "Predator"!!!, Nov 20 2002

By

cousinpaco (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Friday The Thirteenth 05 Jason Lives (Paperback)

A faithful adaptation of a truly terrifying horror film (with 8 pages of movie photos!), the novelization of "Jason Lives" goes one step further: it offers a glimpse into Jason's life BEFORE the tragic summer at Camp Crystal Lake.

In a particularly well-written scene, young Jason gets even with a neighborhood bully. The unlucky lad is at Jason's DISPOSAL, if you get my drift.

Even more shocking (and a plot-thread I wish they'd incorporated in the film series) is the graveside appearance of Jason's father. The description of Mr. Voorhees subtly foreshadows the revelation of otherworldly influences on Jason's life.

The novel also does a stellar job of fleshing out Tommy Jarvis as a character, and gives some emotional resonance to the poor camp counselors who become Jason's latest victims (Cort, in particular, is my favorite).

If you're a fan of Jason, don't miss this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage., Mar 1 2002

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Friday The Thirteenth 05 Jason Lives (Paperback)

Simon Hawke attempts to make a silk purse from a sow's ear, namely the script to Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part 6. Tommy Jarvis tries to fry Jason's remains, but only brings the serial killer back to life. Whoops. Hawke brings none of the movie's humor to the book, presenting everything in a melodramatic style so overblown it could be read as satire. Stictly for Jasonites or fans of bad books, if any are out there.
