About book Back To The Future (1987)

Considering that this is one of my favourite movies and a good movie novelisation has been a staple of my book collection over the last 27 years of reading, it's pretty strange how I've never read this before. It wasn't until a good friend bought me the trilogy of BTTF novelisations for my 31st birthday that I knew they even existed. Thanks to this quality gift, I got these books brought to my attention.As with all movie adaptation books, it's good fun to read and to add a different perspective to what you see on screen. It's interesting for its slight variations. There's a couple of "deleted scenes" and some minor differences from the finished film which make it all the more compelling if you're a back to the future fan like me. (Look for a bizarre smoke alarm detention scene which thankfully was cut from the film.)Whilst the writing is nice and an absolute breeze to blast through, it's a shame that the author didn't take more artistic licence with the screenplay to add more emotion, thoughts and feelings behind Marty's actions. All too often the writing just chooses to add some flowery prose to the events of the screenplay. That's a minor quibble though. Fans of the film and fans of fun, easy to read action and sci-fi books will enjoy this.

This story is about a boy named Marty and he is a a professor's assistant and he is also a guitarist. In the story Marty goes back in the past using the professors time traveling car and he goes back in time when his parents were his age. As the story continues he meets his parents and by doing so he altered the future and it could have prevented his birth because he changed the past of how his parents met. Now he has to go back to the professor of that time to figure out how he can get back to the future and also how he can get his parents together.

Some film novelisations are almost the script with 'he said'/'she said' filled in. Not this one. The story is told with no small amount of depth, and I dare say you could enjoy this as a novel without ever knowing there had been a film (though the cover would be a giveaway, but you get the idea).There are certain differences from the film. Whether because the author worked from a different script, or they simply felt that way, I don't know. The Marty of the novel is a bit more of a thinker, but still recognisably the kid who looks like Michael J Fox. Several of the story beats are different (the opening is entirely 'new', for one), but the plot is pretty much the same. Don't come in looking for the exact same thing that you saw in the cinema, but a worthy alternate look at the same story.

Oh.my.GOD! This book was so AWESOME! =DSeriously guys, this book might be old but its million times better than the new books which are publishing today.I remember watching Back to the future movies and I used to adore them. Michael J.Fox was absolutely amazing. And as soon as I saw this book in my friend's house, I borrowed it. This book is pretty much like the movie but much more detailed. It was exciting, adventurous and even funny. I loved the author's writing, the story flowed and I read it non-stop. I especially loved Marty and his sarcasm and the ending was purely satisfying. Even though this book was published in 1985, I really loved it and I will recommend everyone to read it. :)*Yeah! Thats how we do it!* xD
