Summary: ...just wow
Review: there is enough action in this book to make u want to jump out a window...BUT DONT...IT WILL HURT! now, first of all, i find many books just plain [bad] like....endersgame,dune, etc which are adored by many ppl but yet...this book captured me with all its gore, action,and surprisingly curses...its a true sci fi book. Now, the most interesting thing about this book is the way the perry family wrote it. It is made in a way that it shows the view of the predators and humans...so it captures the angle of battles and intense moments in different ways. the plot is actually interesting...yet i heard nothin good bout the second one but heh. now, u might think this book is just some [bad] knock off but its not...read it now!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Cool...
Review: The book overall was pretty cool, although the author made some of the aliens look like sissys. I saw the predator and alien movies and the predators DEFINATELY lived up to what they were like in the movies.(Yet the predators kind of had egos as big as mountains.)The aliens...basically the predator takes a swing with his spear, the alien goes down. They said in the book that the aliens(except the queen)were stupid. In the movie the alien, in no possible way, was stupid. It also gave you some insites of the predator culture. Overall, I give this book a 4 for -Good plot - Neat Characters - cool insites- awesome battle
descriptions, but I take off for making the aliens look like sissys. Definately worth the money!
P.S. I'm 13 years old, not 12.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great little book!
Review: I enjoyed this story! Maciko Noguchi works for the company and she hates it. Deep inside she's a warrior and she's about to be offered a chance to run with some of the most dangerous predator's in the known universe, a pack of Predators! Maciko'a about to sign up for a apprenticeship under one of the best of the best in one on of the most dangerouse situations of her life. And its all going to go down on a calm, backwoods little ranch planet where nothing exciting ever happens. Definately worth the reading time!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not so hot...
Review: Well this was a nice fun book. I can't say I much enjoyed any of the characters or the setting of the story. Nor can I say I enjoy how the aliens were portrayed, they were pure fodder and almost put up no fight at all to the human and predator onslaught. I did think that a lot of the predator expansion was interesting. As it told you more about the predator way of life. That's why I wouldn't call this so much an Aliens Vs. Predator book as it's a Predator Vs. Humans and some poor unsuspecting aliens get tossed into the mix. I do feel however that the writer kinda turned the predators into somewhat of a klingon ripoff, but not so much, the predators in this book are just as hardcore as their film counterparts. A couple predators in particular are a LOT more hardcore than their film counterparts.

Over all this isn't as good as Predator: Cold War or Aliens: Earth Hive, but it's not nearly as bad as Aliens: Genocide so I say this is pretty well worth the money pick up a copy soon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: predator galore
Review: If you like reading about the predators more so than the aliens, then this is your book. Not to put it off for the die hard alien fans but there is little to do with them in comparison to the predators in the story. I love this book i read it over just two days. I could not wait for the next part or the next action sequence or the next surprise. This is one of the best ideas in a book i have ever read and the way the story comes to life is very believable. Overall, one of the best books i have ever read and thats without exaggeration. Just read it for yourself, you'll see!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More than a screenplay
Review: While I would like to see this as a movie, the book works well as a novel, with interesting character development and explorations of the character"s motivations that would get lost on the screen. It is not just a "fill in the blanks between the action scenes" type of scrren-play as book. As with the movies of this series, it is probably too violent for young readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A tale of two species
Review: As I have seen people like it so do I. It would make a great movie( rated R of course)I liked the part where They break into the ship and Noguchi hurts the queen and the airlock decapitates her.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh God Almighty, PLEASE make this book into a movie!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book is the BEST! THe book concentrates on the two main characters, the first being a Japanese woman named Machiko Noguchi, and the second being a two and a half meter tall Predator named Dachande. (a.k.a: Broken Tusk) Dachande and his hunting party land on a planet populated by humans to plant Alien eggs so they can hunt them. But an accident causes Dachane to be put in the medical centre, where he is nursed back to health. He then gets the idea that humans are not so bad. Then he and Machiko form an unlikely alliance to kill the Aliens. The funniest part was when Machiko was attacked by an Alien, and Dachande runs of with her to a safe place so he can examine her wounds. It's this part when he finds out that the 'warrior' is a female. To him it's a shock. Also during this part the two of them attempt to communicate, but without much luck, so in the end he names her Da'dtou-di in his language. The saddest part is when Dachande is attacked and badly wounded by the Alien Queen. Machiko drags him into an escape pod, but not before the Queen shoves it's sharp claws into Dachade's back. They escape, but Dachande is dying. Before he dies, he gives Machiko his mark. Then he dies. This part made me cry, it was so sad. He was the only 'good' Predator I knew. But two years later, another Predator hunting party lands on the planet, and Machiko goes to the Leader. He nearly shoots her, but then he goes to examine her. He then finds out that she is Blooded. He askes her if she came to hunt, and she said yes. The both of them will then learn a lot from each other. This book is sooo good, it should be made into a movie, with no changes, staight from the book. The people who made the Alien movies and the people who the Predator movies should join forces and make this super book into a movie. I hope that one day, it will become a movie. One can only wait.
