Product Description:
Scientific genius Dr. Reed Richards's lifelong dream is close to being realized--a trip to space and to the center of a cosmic storm to unlock the secrets of the human genetic code. Financed by rival-turned-billionaire-industrialist Victor Von Doom, Reed's crew for the mission includes his best friend, astronaut Ben Grimm; Susan Storm, Von Doom's director of genetic research and Reed's ex-girlfriend; and Sue's hot-headed younger brother, pilot Johnny Storm. With benefactor Von Doom in tow, the four set off for the exploration of a lifetime. But something goes terribly wrong, as cosmic radiation irrevocably alters their DNA...and their future.
Back on Earth, the effects of the exposure are quickly revealed: Reed gains the ability to stretch and contort his body into any shape he can imagine...Sue is able to render herself invisible and to create and project powerful force fields...Johnny can now engulf his body in flames and take flight at will... and Ben, whose freakish transmutation is the most shocking, becomes an orange-colored, rock-like, superhumanly strong creature. Together, they turn tragedy into triumph and catastrophe into coalition, and must use their unique and formidable powers against Victor Von Doom--who has also not escaped the effects of the cosmic storm unscathed....
Adventurers. Super Heroes. Celebrities. To the world, they are the Fantastic Four. To each other, they are a family.

Thou this book does follow the movie ALMOST exactly, I would say dispite some of the other reviewers of this book that the movie version added some touches of humor and changed/tweeked some of the scenes from the book.
Like adding the scene of Doom stealing the heat seeking missile and launcher as well as the tanks of super cool gas where the book just mentions that Doom tinkered with the gas and always had the missile launcher just hanging around the office.
It does expand ... Read More

This is an awesome superhero book i've read lately. This book has little aditions to it from the movie. The auther describes each character very well. This book i recomend to all marvel comic book fans.
If you liked this book check out The movie, soundtrack, game and the motion picture score.

Dr. Reed Richards is sure he has found a scientific breakthrough. All he has to do is convince billionaire (and nemesis) Victor Van Doom, to help him reach a cosmic storm in order to observe it. While Victor agrees to the use of his private space station, the price is almost all profit made from this research. On the space station, Reed and the rest of his team: best friend, Ben Grimm; ex-girlfriend, Susan Storm; her hotshot brother, Johnny Storm; as well as Doom himself, are shocked when something ...

I enjoy occassionally reading film novelizations, because the add to the story...I think back to the original Star Trek films with minor story lines added that weren't in the films...made those that read the book have a richer film experience.
This is NOT the case with Fantastic 4, unfortunately. Even more disasapointing is that I enjoy many of Peter David's original works. When he "adds" to pump up the story...to make this into a book...it is useless, boring wasteless stuff. A HUGE ff fan...this ... Read More

This book is awesome and (no pun intended) fantastic! I never take my time to write a review and this is my first.
Fantastic 4 is a very entertaining read. And I agree with the past reviewer as I also could not put this book down. It was a real page turner, I just wanted to keep on reading, and only a VERY GOOD book makes me do that.
I will admit that some of the dialogue is cringe worthy, but other parts defintely make up for that.
Every character was handled well, and you could really ... Read More
