I re-watched the movie after quite a few years away from it and decided to reread the novel (it's my second time through). I forgot how much different this is from the movie! I got through this book pretty quickly and I had a mixed reaction to it this time. There was a bit of the book I liked, then quite a bit I didn't. For example, the plot with E.T having an infatuation with Mary, the mother. What the flip is that? It made no sense to me and was a bit of an absurd subplot. Anyway, this time it was eh to say the least. One thing I did like however, was the beginning descriptions of the aliens. That made sense. So, to make this short, I prefer the film version. It makes more sense then most of this book. I know some won't agree, but I will do a video review on my thoughts on this book and all that.

Buena adaptación del guión. El autor se da la libertad de agregar algunos aspectos a la relación entre Elliot y E.T., aunque nada que cambie la trama.
