I listened to the audio version of the book. Im picky about narrators but I did enjoy the narration of William Hope. The writing however was a bit of a let down, perhaps as I am such a fan of the film. I dont understand why the language was changed. This may seem inconsequential but it did change the overall tone of the story especially iconic lines such as Ripleys when fighting the Queen. There were also some minor dialog changes/scene changes that I noticed in contrast to the film. I can understand they were probably made in order to help progress the story and some of them I actually liked, others seemed unneccesary. Cant give more than three stars as it was sub par compared to the film.
