After another break I'm back on the franchise novelisations, starting with the only one I'd not read before - The Predator. I thought it was thoroughly average, although purely by virtue of not including the two dumbest things in the movie - the idea of a Predator invasion as a result of global warming, and that final scene - it was automatically an improvement on the film. It probably goes without saying, but I really think they dropped the ball in having Morris rework it in line with the film. Would've made for an infinitely more interesting read if they'd stuck with Golden's original draft.
And finally, I've made a start on AVP. Only a couple of chapters in but I'm already reminded what a great job Cerasini does with it, I really enjoy his style. Almost makes me wish he'd accepted Requiem (almost).
