Listen to the previous 3 first

Maybe I'm biased but I love these. Another great addition to the series.

Recommended if you liked the movies.

I Loved It, Now To Watch The Movie

Lots of twists and turns and connections with the Aliens come to light. I really enjoyed the book and I hope the movie us just as good. I really don't know why I missed seeing it in the 90's as I had seen all the others as they were released.

Interesting

Another great addition to the Alien series. Action packed and twisted plot. I thoroughly enjoyed the alien point of view it was interesting. The narration was perfectly performed. I definitely recommend this book.

Probably the best of the first four novelizations.

A while back I decided to punish myself for some reason by reading through the novelizations of the first four Alien movies for reasons I won't go into here. I generally dislike novelizations -- at least I dislike them unless they add something to the experience of the movie. Too often they simply sweep you through the movie and don't even bother to stop and provide good descriptions (relying on the fact that you already have the visuals in your head). What I'm really looking for, of course, is more detail about the world and some of the internal dialogue of the characters. Alien 4: Alien Resurrection really came through on that score. Here's the good and the bad.

The good. You get some internal dialogue from the characters and from the aliens themselves! You also get a look into the world of an artificial human, two actually - an android and a semi-human clone. I especially enjoyed the sub-plot surrounding the artificial human (android). The reading by Hope is generally good and Crispin's writing is fine too. There are a couple of things going for the movie that really translated well into the novelization - the spooky atmosphere and the huge variety of interesting characters.

The bad. Well, there's not much negative worth saying. The book does indeed suffer some of the typical problems of a novelization - lazy description, for instance - but not as much as was the case with Foster's novelizations (Alien and Aliens). You also don't get a lot of extra plot detail that wasn't apparent in the movie, but you get a little.

Overall, I'd say it was a satisfying read.

Good addition to the alien series

this wasn't my favorite one, but still pretty good. I would recommend it. two more words.
