Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: This book was thoroughly disappointing. I am an X-Phile and enjoyed the movie, but this book is just a sloppy retelling of the script. The writing made me cringe, and the vocabulary is only at a sixth-grade level (at best). I was really expecting some insights into the thoughts of Mulder and Scully. There were so many excellent opportunities for this, the hallway scene being one of them. Unfortunately, you will find no such elaboration within this insulting novel.

Summary: A faithful adaptation featuring a little extra information
Review: This is an excellent adaptation of the feature film The X-Files: Fight the Future. Elizabeth Hand took Chris Carter's script and transferred it to book form in the most faithful way possible. If you've seen the movie (and I would certainly recommend seeing the movie before reading this adaptation of it), you will "see" the entire movie in your mind as you read along. The dialogue is word for word, the descriptions are an exact match to the scenes in the movie, and you will not find anything from the movie that is not translated onto these pages. Strangely enough, the book feels more rushed than the movie did, and the written word doesn't convey as strong a visual image of the film's culminating action in Antarctica, but I think this is clearly due to the fact that this book was borne of the movie and not vice versa.Lest you think there is no reason to read this adaptation of the movie, I should point out that there is a tiny bit of material here that you will not see in the film itself. This extra material concerns the fate of Mulder's little sister Samantha, and I can't imagine why such an important exchange between Mulder and the Well-Manicured Man was left out of the film. This is information that goes to the very root of Mulder's obsessive commitment to uncovering "the truth." The initial hardback release features several pages of excellent color stills from the film, which make quite a nice addition to an important and very readable novel. Even if you've seen the film so many times you have all the lines memorized, this is a book every X-Files fan really should read and own.

Summary: THE GREATEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is one of the greatest books I've ever read. This is the greatest book for X-Files fans and fans of the movie. I would definitely buy this book if you are an X-Files fan who wants the inside look at the plot of the movie. THE TRUTH OF SAMANTHA IS REVIELED IN THE BOOK BUT NOT IN THE MOVIE BECAUSE IT GOT CUT. See the movie then read the book and you'll know what i mean!!!!

Summary: The truth is in the best book ever!!!
Review: This is the best X-Files book I have ever read. The truth about the Mulder/Scully kiss, Samantha, the Syndicate, and everything else are revealed in here-especially the parts cut from the movie. It is action-packed, funny, sexy, and scary-just like the movie!
