Rating:  Summary: MUCH better than the movie. Review: This book adheres to the spirit of the Godzilla series. The monster is symbolic of the threat of nuclear war, as in the original film. The appearance of a great many other Toho Productions monsters brings back many green memories of my childhood; Saturday night horror movies and the giant rubber monsters that dominated them. The scripts were good, though. The new film, by contrast, had great F/X, but a rubber script, if you get my meaning.:-(
Rating:  Summary: This one starts it all, folks! Review: As a direct sequel to the Americanized version of the 1954 film Godzilla, King of the Monsters (starring Raymond Burr), this book begins what will come to be known as one of the greatest Godzilla sagas of all time. The character interaction is superb, and Godzilla is as unstoppable as ever. The best part has got to be when the main character alludes back to Raymond Burr's role as reporter Steve Martin. "This is Tokyo..." That still gives me goosebumps!
Rating:  Summary: the BEST in a series of promising Godzilla adventures! Review: I've read all 4 of Marc Cerasini's Godzilla books, and this was the most promising! Cerasini's know-how on the military and his excellent descriptions of battles make this book a must have, though some of it was heavily taken from "Godzilla 1985." My opinion: Tri-Star should re-release "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" then turn this into a movie. Great stuff!
Rating:  Summary: Really cool book and look forward to others! Review: This book is very well written and depicts Godzilla, Rodan, King Ghidorah, and the others very realistically and frighteningly. IT really made me appreciate modern military weaponry, after seeing Maser Tanks, Super-Cold Lasers, and super robots such as Mecha-Godzilla, and MOGERA in the new movies. The scene with the fuel-air explosive was breathtaking. I loved this book and am looking forward to ordering Godzilla At World's End.As for the Nostradamus thingie, great, as if Y2K isn't bad enough! ;-)
Rating:  Summary: Godzilla Returns is a great book for young adults! Review: GREAT book, this is a book filled with suspence and action. Marc Cerasini is a great writer who tells all of Godzilla little details and movments. I would recomend this book to any one who likes Godzilla and any one who doesn't! Cool cover art too!
Rating:  Summary: BAD BAD BAD! Review: I loved godzilla returns and was hopeing to see some good fighting scenes in this one, nick gordon and brian shumara (from the first book) only go cameo apperences and that was the first(of many) problems with this book. nick and brian sould have been the stars in this book, but they got the un-likeible, g-force now, and this tradision of kicking out stars continued with "godzilla at worlds end" . and the part where the girl can "mentaly" hear mothra, that stinks! so if you like GOOD books, then DONT get this one.
Rating:  Summary: This book rules!! Review: One of the best of the godzilla series.If you thuoght the old series was crummy guess again.After you read this book you will see them in a different way.
Rating:  Summary: A Must-Read For Kids or Adult Lizard Lovers Review: The new series of Godzilla paperbacks are finely written by Marc Cerasini. This book has the action to keep a younger reader glued to his seat, and the ability to do the same to an adult. A must read for all Godzilla fans.
Rating:  Summary: Review by a Godzilla Web Page Owner Review: One of the best books I have read. Marc Cerasini is truley a great writer. This book give's Godzilla more of a real world feel. The best of all the Godzilla books.
Rating:  Summary: Eh, it was good, but not great. Review: I liked how Godzilla and Varan were done, but the other monsters only get one scene. Marc wrote about too many monsters to make them all interesting enough. Godzilla only fights one monster in the book and that fight is only three chapters long. Plus there are too many different plots going on to make any of them good, and is hard to keep track of them all. I'd buy it, but wouldn't get upset if they were out of stock.
