Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

This title will immediately be recognized by sf heads as the source for the classic 1955 film, which is still considered one of the best of the 1950s B movies, despite being sniped at in the feature film version of the late, great Mystery Science Theater 3000. The 1952 novelization essentially was a collection of the individual episodes serialized in Thrilling Wonder Stories. This edition sports a new intro by legendary horror/sf film maven Forrest J. Ackerman. The book and film differ greatly, so die-hards will have to read it to get the true story.

5.0étoiles sur 5 An imaginitive SF Classic! Dated, but has aged well., Mai 6 2004
Par Roger J. Buffington (Huntington Beach, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is a true Science Fiction classic. I first read it when I was in Middle School, and it made quite an impression on me as a fantastic story with a wild premise, well-told. Picking it up thirty-five years later, the novel has lost none of its punch or impact. This is a true science fiction classic.

The premise of the novel is simple enough: Earth is being visited by warring factions of a monstrously large inter-galactic conflict. Each side views Earth as an obscure planet of limited importance, much as the US Navy might have viewed certain obscure islands in the Pacific during the Second World War. The protagonists become caught up in this conflict in a very interesting way. More would be telling, but suffice to say, this is a really interesting story, and its premise has not been done better (to my knowledge) in any science fiction novels that have come later.

This one is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys good science fiction.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Pulp Science Fiction, Aoû 12 2003
This review is from: Forrest J. Ackerman Presents This Island Earth (Paperback)
This is a fun book to read if you are into 50's science fiction. The movie is equally entertaining and if you have seen it yet it's worth a try. Order a pizza, pop some popcorn, and curl up with your woman and enjoy a fun movie.
