Product Description

From AudioFile

Horrible! This weak audio comic book has all the charm and verve of a VCR manual. The producers clearly cranked out this collateral product in a limp effort to support their summer blockbuster, losing a golden opportunity to create exciting audio theater. Had they attempted to do this instead of parroting the novel of the screenplay, they might have impressed the public with their creativity instead of wasting our time and dulling our imaginations. Mind you, there are no sound effects and only one reader. Chances are, the stars were too busy or expensive to take part in the project, which is hackneyed beyond belief and read gamely but lamely (including meek Arnold impressions). Avoid TERMINATOR 3 at all costs! D.J.B. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

Based on the screenplay by Jonathan Mostow, John Brancato, and Michael Ferris The novel of the blockbuster hit film For two generations of moviegoers, the Terminator movies have defined adrenaline-soaked action filmmaking. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a machine from the future, a machine who can take-or save-lives, capable of enormous violence and destruction, these films are the quintessential action thrillers of the new millennium. Now, twelve years after Terminator 2: Judgment Day , Schwarzenegger is back in a new Terminator film that is even more exciting and action-packed than the first two films. With incredible new computer-generated imagery and an enormous arsenal of new effects, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines , is a roller-coaster ride that moviegoers won't be able to resist. David Hagberg, the bestselling author of dozens of action thrillers, has written a novel that goes inside the minds of the terminators and shows readers the post apocalyptic future as they've never seen it before, creating a thrill-packed novel. On the screen, Terminator 3 will dazzle and delight the eyes and rivet viewers to their seats. With masterful storytelling and a pulse-pounding pace, Hagberg has written a novel of heart-stopping tension that will keep readers in suspense until the very last page.

4.0 out of 5 stars T3 for english, April 1 2004
John Connor, now older, is still a target for killer cyborgs from a possible future. The human resistance of the future has also sent back a Terminator, who saved Connor's life before. John's cyborg assassin, a Terminatrix(T-X), is far more advanced than anything ever seen in previous models. If he doesnt survive, the future of humans is lost. His only hope lies within himself, a girl from his past, and a Terminator(who looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger).

I thought it was a good book and helped further explain the movie. It added more detail to the scenes. Its action packed and hard to put down. This novel will be a favorite for any terminator or schwarzenegger fan. While the movie may not be as good as the others, the book is just as good as any.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terminator 3 rocks, Dec 9 2003
By A Customer
This book is the most thrilling and exciting book ever. It has awesome details to show the reader what is happening in the scene combined with an all ready spectacular plot this book is awesome and deserves all the complements it gets.The book tells an awesome story and has amazing events that will keep the reader reading intensly. The movie was also great but I think that reading the book before the movie sort of ruined the ending but all in all it was okay. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes to read and is a fan of the terminator series.
An those who like the Governer of California.

4.0 out of 5 stars Based on the Movie with A Little More Insight, Oct 20 2003
By Michael Gordon "Michael Gordon" (Los Angeles, Ca) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I watched Terminator 3 in the movies before I read the book. It was good to refresh my memory of the movie, because the movie was intense and, the way memory works, you inevitably forget certain important scenes.

If you have not seen the movie, I would highly recommend the book. It describes many of the scenes in great detail. Also, some events in the movie that are a bit unclear are explained quite well in the book. For instance, when the T-X reprograms Terminator's memory system, it would seem as though it would be impossible for the Terminator to be on John Conner's side again. But the book explains that the Terminator re-booted his computer system, and thus was able to have a fresh start. In the movie, this is not explained at all, and the Terminator just comes back to save John Conner, which appears puzzling since he was, at that point in time, programmed to harm John Conner.

The book is very action-focused - with very vivid descriptions of the actions that are occuring. I am actually quite impressed with the ability to write a book based on a movie of this complexity -- and still make it very readable, exciting, and a fun read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent storyline
I read the book after having seen the movie. A book is supposed to give more of an insight into characters and the storyline than the movie can convey, but if a book is based on... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Book is great - Movie even better!
I read this novel on a plane trip cross country. This book kept me spellbound. Riveting and pulsating don't come close to describe the story. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars See the movie, don't wait for the bok
Normally, when I read a book before I see the movie, it increases my desire to see said movie. Unfortunately, in the case of T3, the opposite has been true. Read more
