Story
A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking 40 years after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder, and family values is a true classic.

Story
Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control. As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217, and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?

Story
Predator ships stream into human space in unprecedented numbers. The Colonial Marines, controlled by Weyland-Yutani, respond to the incursion, thus entering the Rage War. This terrifying assault by the Yautja cannot go unchallenged, yet the cost of combat is high. Predators are master combatants, and each encounter yields a high body count. Then, when Lt. Johnny Mains and his marines - the VoidLarks - enter the fray, they discover an enemy deadlier than any could imagine.

Story
The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living - or at least the undead - hell of that dreadful time.

Very Good
The novelisation read in this audio book is spot on to the film. The suspense is still there. The horror also very evident. Although this audio is for adults I found it awesome as a quick listen compared to some audio books I think it was definately a worthwhile use of a credit. I didn't think they would fit the whole film into the 2hrs something but they did, and it sounds great !

Not Bad For A Human...
Alan Dean Foster's attempt to rough out the edges of ALIEN 3's script makes for an interesting juxtaposition between the movie and the film. Even with the special edition of the film available, this one is worth a spin for hardcore ALIEN nuts, especially given Lance Henriksen's reading (which is excellent).

The audiobook was much better than the film.
If you could sum up Alien 3 in three words, what would they be?
Underappreciated, well-written, excellent
What did you like best about this story?
I enjoyed the setting and the conflict established. By placing the protagonoist (Ripley) on a new world, surrounded by prisioners (all male), and with no weapons it created an interesting delima in dealing with the Alien akin to the first film. The survivors are then forced to work together and use their surroundings to take on the Alien.
What about Lance Henriksen’s performance did you like?
This is one of my favorite audio books because of Mr. Henriksen's performance. It was nice to have an Alien alum perform the book in the first place, but I felt he did a good job. Some of his different character's voices are poorly done, but was able to forgive it because of the overall performance.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There wasn't a particularly "moving" part of a survival-horror/sci-fi tale.
Any additional comments?
I first listened to this audiobook on a two cassette tape set that I had for years. I have always like the story of Alien 3 and feel that the "original cut" of the film didn't do it justice. The novilization filled in a lot of holes and created a more complete story. As a fan of the franchise I would say this is my second favorite Alien story behind the second film. I would recommend a listen to anyone who may not have really enjoyed the film but would like a better "telling" of the story.

Should have been unabridged.
What would have made Alien 3 better?
Making this audiobook an unabridged installment. As it is, it's no better than watching the film. So much of the story, that make novels such a joy, is made better by knowing all the extra details. It's a shame.
Which character – as performed by Lance Henriksen – was your favorite?
Honestly, every one of them, I'm a huge fan of Mr. Henriksen.
What character would you cut from Alien 3?
Nothing, too much was cut already.
Any additional comments?
Make all the Alien novels into unabridged audiobooks!

I loved Lance as a robot but he also reads as such
Aliens is my most favorite sci fi series. I love the original cast.
Bishop is my fav android.
But Lance butchered the text like no other. Why would someone let him continue reading the text if he does not recognizes any punctuation???
Most of the time I wondered where one sentence ends and other begin, but I was pretty sure it's not where Lance happens to take a breath.
Geezus, it was so painful to listen to. I hope he does not hate is role in that movie because he surely hates this novel.
Ouch.
It was the worst narration.

a real high in low!
I really hate to give any sort of negative review but this audio book is so awful I almost feel its my duty. I think what really makes book bad is the narration. Frequently the narration can really make or break a story it this book may not be as awful as I think it is just because of Lance Henriksen's naration. There isn't anything really wrong with Mr. Henriksen's narration, its just that he should have not been hired for this vocal. His voice was soft and almost soothing so the fright I should have felt when Ripley was fighting her alien and the Company has come to collect both her & the alien was just not there.
Save your credit or your $$ & run, don't walk away from this book!
