Product Description:
Adventurers. Celebrities. Family. They are the Fantastic Four, the world's greatest Super Hero™ team: scientific genius Reed Richards, with the ability to stretch and contort his body into any shape imaginable; the beautiful Susan Storm, who can render herself invisible and create and project powerful force fields; Sue's brother, Johnny Storm, who can engulf his body in flames and take flight at will; and Ben Grimm, whose freakish transmutation turns him into an orange-colored, rock-like, superhumanly strong creature.

Now the Fantastic Four meet their greatest challenge yet, as anenigmatic, intergalactic herald comes to Earth -- to prepare it for destruction. As the mysterious alien being races around the globe, wreaking havoc and leaving utter chaos in its wake, Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben must find a way to confront this devastating force...even as a new threat looms in the surprising return of their mortal enemy, Victor Von Doom, who harbors his own deadly machinations for them all....

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Different than movie
I always forget whether I prefer to read the book and then watch the movie or watch the movie and then read the book. lol
Either way I always end up at least slightly disapointed by something that didn't add up between the two.

I do recall that I read this first, and then spent the entire movie thinking, 'wait, that's not how they said it happend in the book!' I think I actually missed some of the movie cause instead of just enjoying them seperately I always expect them to be ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A expanded and slightly different story then the movie
Having read both the Peter David book and this one I will say that the story lines in both books have expanded scenes, dialogs and changed some things that the movie edited (for time constraints or dragged the story down) to make the movie more dramatic and fast paced for the movie goer.

I.E the Doom vs surfer battle. The movie shows Doom regaining his humanity after being deposited in the cave after the battle while the book still has him as a disfigured Freddy Kruger clone. The movie ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Super Reader
for a Hollywood writer and editor.

Pretty clearly not a novelist of any note (or at all, even), as the writing in this is very low, although the dialogue parts can still entertain.

The Silver Surfer comes to Earth to set up the planet so Gah Lak Tus can snack on it. The Four are asked to help stop this by the military, who also bring in Doctor Doom. Never a good idea tempting supervillain dictators with extremely powerful alien technology of destruction.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Fantastic Book
This is a very good book i liked it alot and i think people will like it as well as i did. If you like the f.f. then you'll like this book. and don't forget to read Fantastic Four the movie novel by Peter David.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
Warning, this may contain spoilers for the book if you are planning on reading it.

The Silver Surfer was introduced in Fantastic Four comic #48... The sequence played over the new few months to culminate in a final confrontation between the FF and Galactus, which caused the surfer to be bound to Earth. There are a lot of differences between the original story and this story, but we have seen that in all the recent Marvel movie adaptations.

The book itself appeared to be rushed ... Read More
