E.T., the extra-terrestrial

E.T., the extra-terrestrial: a novel | William Kotzwinkle, Melissa Mathison

pick

I've not seen this movie in such a long time so reading this book brought back a lot of memories.

Is it worth the read? Yes, absolutely because you get to know the characters more, through their thoughts and feelings.

I think it enriches the story and I enjoyed reading it, I'm now looking forward to watching it and bawling my eyes out at the ending again.

I didn't realise that the alien was a 10 million year old intergalactic botanist! 😍

Sparklemn I read this back when the movie came out and loved it. I'm nearly as old as ET. 😉 Like you said, it really fleshes out the characters. Glad you enjoyed it! 🌿 🌻 🌸 1y

Adorable retelling of the movie. My 10 yr old actually purchased this picture book for his collection. The illustrations are so cute, and it mostly keeps to the movie, only leaving out parts that may upset or not be appropriate for the toddler set. Also, the text does not shy away from challenging vocabulary for beginning readers. (Always a +!)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💜😁

One of my reading companions decided to take a peek out of the blanket. Reminded me of E.T. with the blanket draped around her. 😄

I just saw this thing, what was the most popular book the year you were born and have you read it? Mine is E.T. I haven't read it, I'm going to add it to my list now tho. http://twentytwowords.com/have-you-read-the-most-popular-book-from-the-year-you-...

Soubhiville I read this more than once as a kid. I think I still have it somewhere! 7y

Foragingfantasy @Tcip awesome! I'll check it out! 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa These would make great picks for the #192019 or #birthdaychallenge 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I'm going to share this link... great ideas in here. 7y

elkeOriginal HA. Mine is the Exorcist - so I NEVER will read it!!

The Exorcist: 40th Anniversary Edition

elkeOriginal @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I thought of the folks doing those challenges to! Handy! 7y

Foragingfantasy @elkeo nooo!!! I wouldn't be either. Nope nope nope. 😱 7y

Foragingfantasy @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I thought it was fun! 7y

elkeOriginal I saw someone got Cujo when it was reposted. So at least I am not the only one with a crappy scary book! 7y

ValerieAndBooks Cool list @Foragingfantasy 👍📚I'm doing the birthday challenge but sticking to when a book was published, not when it was popular (not always the same year) and what I haven't already read before. @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @elkeo 7y

Owlizabeth Mine is Cujo! 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Foragingfantasy It definitely is! Thanks so much for sharing it. 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ValerieAndBooks I didn't even think of that! Oops. 7y

ValerieAndBooks That's ok, I almost did that myself! I had almost started my challenge with Herzog, the most popular book for the year I was born, until I realized it was published the year before. So it's still in my TBR 😊 7y

Eyelit Mine is a Puzo book I have never heard of (though to be fair, does anyone know any other Puzo book than The Godfather?) 😆

Fools Die

coffeenebula Jaws. I can get behind that. 🐟 7y

Jerdencon Mine was love story... which I have never read nor seen the movie. I feel compelled to do so now! 7y
