12 MONKEYS
ELIZABETH HAND.
Movie tie in.
12 Monkeys (The Movie) and 12 Monkeys (The Series) are two of my favourites.
This one is based on the Movie only as it was published at that time when the TV Series was only on someones 'what if' wish list.
Written by someone called Elizabeth Hand who i'd not heard tell of before or since. It's pretty short at just over 200 pages for this paperback edition.
It doesn't veer too far from what occurs in the Movie at all and that would be a pretty huge problem for anyone reading the book without first watching the film.
It's not the easiest movie to follow. Full of time travel puzzles and paradoxes that require the watchers full concentration. The book is similar. You won't have much of a clue of what is going on unless you've watched the movie.
It's fairly typical for a tie in Novel. Nothing special but reasonably well written.
I finished it fairly quickly which is unusual for me.
Hard to recommend if you don't love the concept of the film. If you do you may get something out of it or you may not.
That's about all I can say about it really?
