I'm not a huge fan of reading scripts but I love the movie Twister and I love Michael Crichton so this was a must read for me. It differs from the movie a bit, but overall pretty much the same. I definitely liked Melissa's character more in the book than the movie.

An enjoyable and quick read! It was entertaining and kept my attention. I was very surprised how different the movie is from the screenplay. I am a huge fan of the movie and I equally enjoyed the book. I remember when i first saw the movie and it made me want to be a tornado chaser, reading this just brought me back to the excitement I first had. I was a little disappointed in Dusty, I enjoyed the movie's version of this character better. However, I liked the screenplay version of Melissa more than the movie. I suppose they didn't want her as likeable in the movie so you didn't feel bad for her when she just gets tossed aside.
The only negative I have is that Screenplays just don't grab you like novels do. They don't submerge you in the story and make you feel like you are in it, like you are apart of it.

Scree play for the movie.

it was ok just like the movie

Nunca habia leído un guión. Me gustó la adrenalina que te hacen sentir los personajes. He visto la pelicula, pero me gustó mucho la experiencia del guión e imaginármelo todo.

Meh. Sometimes I just like to find action screenplays to see how they are written and constructed.

very good, one of the first of his books I ever read.

It's a script with good scientific facts about tornados, the movie is really close to this script, with various differences, but I liked more the script.

It's really amazing how the book differs from the movie. I watched the movie after I read the book and I found that the book was better because books almost always are going to have more tiny and big details.

One of his weaker works. Later I watched the movie only because Helen Hunt is in it.

As a huge Twister fan, it's a wonder it's taken me so long to read this. My bullet point review:
-Melissa's character is 100% more likeable in this script
-what is up with military/pit crew coordinator Jonas Miller?
-Jo is not playfully antagonistic, she's just MEAN.
-The Tornado scenes were cool and described really well.
-Bill is kinda there.
-I never knew how much I liked Phillip Seymore Hoffman's Dusty until this characterization was missing from the book.

Worth a quick read through-it reads little goofy to me, but maybe I'm so used to the movie.

It was fun to read this so late after seeing and long-time-loving the movie. To be honest, I'm pretty glad for all the changes the movie made to the script and that the actors made to their characters. The script Jo and Melissa are weirdly petty and insecure and they engage in teenage behaviours despite being grown women. The movie Jo and Melissa are at least about their own business and not directly competing, even as circumstances set them up that way. The storm chaser crew are also pretty 2 dimensional, just waiting for someone to come along and own them OR maybe that's just the hallmark of a decent script - to provide a framework for other people's artistry. Either way, I enjoyed the nostalgic trip of reading the original for one of my favourite movies.
