The Alien vs Predator Movie Novelization book was released earlier today across America (and on July 1st in the UK) and YautjaWarrior has emailed with his first impressions of the book:

“The Novelization of the AvP Movie is in stores. I bought it and there is a section in the center of the book with a few pictures from the movie. The commentary with the photos hints that the “Scar” Predator is the main predator for the movie. The pictures are pretty cool, and I’ve only read the first three chapters, but the book seems promising.”

It certainly sounds interesting but by reading the book, is it going to spoil the plot for you? Probably but reading a few chapters wouldn’t hurt to get an idea of what’s going on. If anybody else happens to buy the book, here’s the links to Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk if you choose to buy it online. As usual, send me any new info you may find and also thanks to YautjaWarrior for letting me know.

I'd really want to buy that book, hope I can buy it in Sweden. .. ?  -Rusty Nails

Holy shit! I'm buying this little pocket book, ordering first thing tomorrow. Seems like it is available here after all!  *does the happy-dance*  -Rusty Nails

I will read it but after I see the movie. I want suprises from this movie. I will buy it. And for all you people that do want to give up the plot and read it, dont post the ending or the suprises. I might read the first chapter though. Rusty Nails I am dancing to.    *Saftey Dance, Saftey Dance everybody look at your pants*

yeah please dont be dicks and post all that crap...the curiosity is killin me but id rather wait...

aaaaah decisions decisions! Do I read it before or after I see the movie... I read all the Lord of the Rings books before I saw the movie and LOVED the movies, even though I knew what was happening... however I read spider-man before I saw  the movie and it ruined it for me... still a good movie, but the suprise wasn't there.... but then I guess there really isn't a comparison between the 2. Be warned though whoever reads the AVP book the ending MIGHT not be the same as the the ending to the movie, sometimes they'll change it so you still have a suprise at the end. (at least I've noticed this to be true)

I bought the book and Im looking at it right now, but I wont read anything till I see the movie. No spoiler for me, I want to enjoy this as much as I can ( the movie)  For those of ya who want to post things about tyhe book, please specify " spoilers" before you post it, so that way those who dont want to read the thing wont have to. But I did read the first chapter. Yes I did, was to damn tempying and this movie is gonna rock!!!!!

Dont give in and read any more Hell Alien. If I went out and bought it tonight I would read the whole thing by tomorrow morning. I wont by it because I will read it no matter how much I will hate myself. I will glance at the pictures at the store. I am tempted to buy it now. Man I hope I dont give in.    ???  

Yes, stay away from the dark side!

Nah, I stopped at the end of tha second chapter. Im not that in. Well I can actually hear the book calling for me but I will overcome it maybe in 5-6 days. That lil voice that is calling me. Its so beutiful. so beutiful... ah yes you want me to read you eh. lol  not funny I know. Eh eh eh. But seriously I just wanted the book to reassure me a bit about the thing. I think that it will be a major blockbuster. Eh eh. Ask darkness, he read 3 chapters. he will tell ya.

Sorry my mistake, Darkness didnt read 3 chapters, Yautja warrior did. lol

lol thats good. Would hate to loose you. I'll take your word on the blockbuster thing. Hey Darkness, could you or anybody nice enough post the book pictures because if I pick it up im going cover to cover.

How many pages are in the book?...

Be patient Variable, be patient. CUZ ITS REALLY WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell Alien do you think I should buy it. If I dont post tomarrow you know why...

If ya think that you will be able to wistand the temptation, then go. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, if ya think that when you will have it you will go berserk, then forget it. I read 2 chapters, and its hard to stop. But im doin it right now, so if ya got the nervs to do it, then ok .

Anyway gin to bed now Im tired and if I stand awake for to long, I will read the ole thing so ga night guys see ya tomarow.

I think I will...it must be worth it. I will wait a few more days hopefully and see how you do. If you cant hold out I sure as hell cant. Please can someone post or give me the link to the books pics???!!!

Yea I will turn in too. Nobody else seems to want to say anything anyway. I will not be part of this funeral persesion. See ya LATER!

I'm going to check out my local Barnes&Nobles/Waldenbooks/Borders tomorrow after work to see if anyone has it.  If they do I might be able to scan the pics for anyone who wants them.  The online stores all say the book is out tomorrow, but that doesn't mean anyone will have them on time, or get them at all, but here's to hoping.

i am going to get the AVP novel but i'm not going to read it till i see the movie. i did the samething when both alien 3 and resurrection came out with the novels and i didnt read the novels till i saw the movie.

  ;D   Im going to get the book just to look at the pictures

Pictures are good.

I just read about the book like an hour ago on this site and... I am fighting the urge as well... I want the book, but i dont have any money. Though I could always mooch off of my woman... yesss.. hehehe.

I intend to buy the book, and read it before going to see the film for the following reasons.  1)  I'm in the UK and it doesn't open until 22nd October here, so it will be a long time between reading the book and watching the film.  2)  I read all of the Star wars books before the films came out and it didn't detract from my enjoyment of them one jot  Dale

It's one thing reading the book its another thing watching it on the big screen

I Agree    ;D     ;)  

Hell Alien tell us somthing about the book please and give us some scans to    ;D  

yes please scan some pics

dude if you can get some pics for us we will be pleased

Man get us some pics

Im not in books   ???     ???     ???  

Don`t like books not even AvP ones   ???     ???     ???  

TO DARKNESS.. will the book be in the shops for july 1st??????????(UK that is?)

It's already on the amazon UK site shakermaker.

Scan pics plz!   ;D  

damn it. I want it. I want it badly, but it seems they don't have it heren in the Netherlands (yet).    >:D  

No?!, no book, damn it, stomme kut zooi, sorry its dutch.   :D  

Always is this country late with this kind of things.

People settle down. Do you realy want to read the whole damn thing? I mean there goes the ending. There goes the plot. There goes everything we have talked about and guessed about. We should all share this joy when the movie comes out. Not even everyone has the book. For all you people that read the next set of posts dont post nothing about it to all us that still want to see the movie. Sure I will go buy the book, Im dying in hear the book is driving me crazy. I will probably buy it today but I wont read nothin important.

I am Dutch too, Alien Emperor!  Aangenaam!   ;D  

for anyone who has the book. How long is it and what is the size of the print? Just by flicking through it how long wud u say the film is going to be at a guess?

Hey, I just read the first three chapters to get an idea of how the movie will be. Sounds good so far   ;D  

Damn straight I'm going to read the whole thing when I get my hands on it.     8)    Besides the fact I probably won't even remember it by the time the movie comes out, or the fact that the book is usually so different from the movie in major spots as to leave me guessing when I see an actual movie, I really don't care if I know it or not going into the movie.  In fact I'll probably love the book just as much as seeing the movie itself.  BTW, I went around to all the big bookstores in my area and no one has this yet.  They say in a day or two, with Borders (in the US) saying "sometime next month".  I spoke to some young kid, and he didn't really sound like he knew what he was doing, but "next month" is in a couple of days, so that's not too bad.  Still, I'll try and get scans when I do manage to find it.

Sorry guys, no scans from me, I dont have a scanner. I wont be able to scan it for ya guys sorry. lol. But i think that I saw these pics somewhere else, on cards or on the net. I ll check it out and will come bak with something maybe,.

Hell Alien, forget it I will scan them. I am leaving now to go get it.

hey variable hook me with the pics man plz well thast if u can.....   ;D  

343, he cool we kunne geheim taal voor hun praate    ;D   nee, hoor geintje

Crap... I picked up the book and decided to read just one more chapter, then one more page, then two more pages... the three more pages... Arrrrgh! I'M ALREADY ON CHAPTER 7!   :-\   IT'S SOOOOO GOOD! (sits in fetal postion, rocking back and forth)

Know what ya mean yautjawarrior, I skipped some pages to see the fights, and they are cool!!!   SPOILER!!!!!  But the preds are getting kicked in this, true scar got 1 alien in 2 devastating blows but the rest of tha pred are getting a hell of a time with the aliens. Like the pred that is getting shred and that actually see his own guts. Just to give ya guys a lil ideas on the way the fights are described.

But mainly its even, just that finally the preds are not Gods that wont be killed by less than 5 aliens. The aliens are finally respected in this. Killing machines.  and they are finally using their tails properly. To stab, empale and slash. Very cool!!!

How does the gird alien die???????????????????

I finished the book...Wow...

And?!

go on then yaujawarrior. As a true fan, what's ur honest opinion of the story, Cameron or Whedon?

This is a hell of a book. But pred fand wont like it. only scar kiiled an alien. well 2 to be exact.

right i can't help it. Im from england and not gonna see it for nother 3 an half months anyway. I want to know everything that happens so if anyone wants to send me a detailed overview of what happens in the book, i would very much appreciate it.  send it to: johnnic01@hotmail.com

I though the book was good... but the Preds were beaten too easily. Overall...out of 10, I give it and 8.5.  :)   Very... interesting ending though(a bit depressing too). Definately makes room for a sequel. A little bit of humor... but LOTS of gore... How this movie could be rated PG-13 is impossible compared to the book. (In the book, the pred rips the alien's brains out...) But this movie should be awesome, who ever wins...   ???   we lose.   ;D  

I am sad about the whole alien deal. Only a pred kills a few aliens. Thats shit. Hopefully the movie will be different. The way it looks with the stuff I read it will be R. Hell Alien you are right. I gave in and read it. Its a hell of a book.

VARIABLE:   u mean to tell me that 1 pred kills a FEW aliens? plz tell me i read wrong man..........

i most get an answer.........

sandman, he was talkin about the scar pred he is the only one to kill aliens . 2 to be exact

so wah abput theother? wah are they there for?????

The others are there to be killed by the aliens...that's pretty much it.

And they dont really put up goods fight. exep for one that is giving Hell to the alien and its not scar.

yeeaa thats a thrill  hope i wont go off my chair with that one lol yea rite.

is it the Preds that will be loosing? i tought the aliens would be ass kicked, C'mon the preds can easily kill at least 10 aliens with their shoulder canon!    ;)  

emperor some said that only one pred killz a few aliens i dunno if itz true but that cam from the novlesoooo i dunno i quess the others are there to sit and get there asses killed...
