katikatThis motion picture novelization wasn't as good as, say, Sally Malcolm's novelization of SGA's "Rising", but it wasn't bad. It must have been based on an early draft of the film's script because in the movie, some scenes were changed - and for the better, I must admit. The book offered some nice insight into the characters' heads, especially Kirk's, and some nice details (like explaining who George was) but the movie... flowed better, I would say, and the action seemed somehow denser.
I'm glad that some of the scenes were cut out because the thing that I disliked most about the movie - the Spock/Uhura relationship - was even more annoying in the book. The one female character was presented as an unprofessional love interest, she ran after Spock like a puppy and it was quite annoying. And together with the fact that she was Spock's student - ugh, it gave me the creeps.
