“Rick: Can you swim? Evelyn: Well, of course I can swim if the occasion calls for it. Rick: [throwing her overboard] Trust me. It calls for it.”This book was fantastic just like the movie, Full of action! I absolutely love the Mummy since it came out, I've watched the film countless of times, the adventure in the book was great and funny at times and so was the romance between Eve and O'Connell.This book follows the movie quite closely but with a few differences to the movie, which i didn't mind...
An excellent retelling of the Mummy story. I enjoyed it both as a companion to the movie but also as a separate product. I think I enjoyed the novelization characters and scenery even more than the movie. Although, the music played through my head the whole time I was reading.
While it's a good book and it captures all the tense scenes from the film really well, the dialogue isn't the best and in some cases is absolutely ridiculous.
Well, well, 2017 is novelizations year for me. I read the most, and I enjoyed myself. The 1999 Mummy is my favorite version so far (the Tom Cruise one included). Brendan Fraser & co have a charm to them that the reboot could not match. I dare say the 1999 version is one of my favorite movies. It's funny, it has adventure, romance and a bit of horror. It's great. And the book is just the same as the movie. Rick and Evy form one of the best couples, and Jonathan completes them. Reading their adven...
my all time favorite movie turned into a book <3 i really love this so much i must admit , that the movie is better then the book (never though i'de ever say that).
Having gotten frisky with the pharaoh's mistress and helping her kill the man, high priest Imhotep is cursed for all eternity. Buried alive with a bunch of flesh-eating scarabs for company, he must never be freed...Pity not everyone got the memo.Most of the time, the book is better than the movie. Even the book based on the movie screenplay. This time that's not the case. Sure, it did expand on the movie, giving depth and layers to a bunch of scenes and characters, but where the movie is snappy
2.5/3 stars It was an okay read.. Very much like the film. The damsel in distress aspect seemed a lot more evident which I didn't like much in the film and hated in the book. There isn't a massive connection to the characters especially if you haven't seen the film. Go into this book without expecting much other than a cheesy, fun read.
My beloved story I know so well from the movie. The book doesn't bring nothing new unfortunately, but it is a good choice if you love Egypt and mummies.
One of those books that must be read before the movie (even if you have already seen the film of the same name, this book must be the next task on your agenda), The Mummy: A Novel is rich with details and captures the essence of the film with which Mummy fans fell in love. It is the perfect reference for those who've found themselves asking questions whilst watching the featured presentation.
I love movie novelizations. I loved this movie. I usually enjoy Max Allan Collins....so it pains me to say I just didn't enjoy this book. I want 'extras or slight differences' in my novelizations from their movie counterparts. Most are based on the screenplay, not the finished product we see on screen; so I'm not sure I can blame Mr. Collins for how this came across.Virtually gone was all the humor from all the characters. I didn't like how Rick kept referring to Evelyn as 'baby'. It sounded too...
A funny book and adventure. I love it.
Good book though portions of it is not part of the movie.
Don't judge me for this one. (I needed a comfort read, okay?) My heart still has a soft spot for the movie, and my mind remembers how often child me obsessed over it.This adaptation lacks some of the charm of the original, but it's still a light, fun and exciting story.
As far as movie novelizations go, The Mummy by Max Allan Collins is a decent adaptation of one of the greatest adventure movies of all time. That being said, I am sorry to say that it didn't quite capture the charm of the original. Bear yourselves, this is gonna be a long review but it needs to be said. 1) Evy's characterization was off and sexist at times.While in the movie Rick and Evelyn are arguably both protagonists and their screen time seems to be about the same, the novel is mostly conce...
It has taken me almost a full year to finish this book. It wasn’t bad by a long shot, I was just never in the mood to read it. This and the film were pretty close together which I was happy about. The Mummy is my favorite movie so when I found a book of it, of course I had to read it!
I really like movie so I must read this book and it is absolutely amazing!
I remembered that the first time I saw the movie at my friend's home. I was so excited and loved it so much. I've watched it several times since then.
I loved the film and I loved this book. There was so much detail in the description; it was a thoroughly enjoyable read.
This is another book where the rating has more to do with me than perhaps anything else.Spoilers if you haven't seen the movie.I have been a huge fan of the Mummy since it came out. The adventure and romance always made me smile, not to mention characters larger than life with sarcastic mouths and sharp wit. The ridiculousness of it all managed to make me laugh every single time I watched it.The book was about the same.Written like a western, The Mummy made me feel like I was part of the adventu...
4.5 stars.As good as the movie, even better at some places. Several new details have been introduced in the story which makes it even more fun and more logical. Dialogues are impeccable.0.5 stars deducted for the language. Too many heavy words are used, I had to constantly refer to the dictionary and reread the sentences to understand them properly.
