This is a really good book to read. The only thing I didn't like is that the movie is different from the book. The book is way better. It has more details and it's more interesting. I'm not a fan of reading but it is crazy how a book and a movie of the same thing can be different. Other than that the book is good. I would recommend i to almost anyone. If you like scary/horrifying twist then read this!

Am I biased? Since this movie is my favorite. It sparked a love for weather phenomenon at a young age and yet terrified me at the same time because I knew what devastation tornadoes can do.

Anyways I give this screenplay Five stars. It has some minor changes but I was still able to invision what was going on since I have seen the movie that many times.

Siempre me hice cargo de que soy lectora de personajes más que de plot o de woldbuilding. Y ese es el problema que encontré con Twister: detesté profundamente a Jo. Es caprichosa, egoísta, manipuladora; tiene cero empatía. Y, en lo personal, desprecio profundamente a ese tipo de personas, así que la detesté a cada palabra que dijo. Entiendo que el problema también es que no fui capaz de separar un "buen" mal personaje, de lo desagradable que me resultó Jo. Así que en esta no te puedo apoyar, Crichton, mil perdones.
Respecto del libro en sí, está escrito a modo de guión cinematográfico y no de novela, lo cual le da dinamismo y lo convierte en una lectura fácil, rápida y activa. No obstante, para quienes vieron la película, a mí me pareció que era prácticamente lo mismo. No encontré más que detalles diferentes acá o allá, pero a grandes rasgos es igualito.
En fin, un libro corto, dinámico, rápido y entretenido con un personaje principal desagradable.

Brilliant book for a fan of Twister the movie, which I am and have been since childhood. I really enjoyed reading about how the author came to write this book and the trivia included with the script. Brought back memories of the characters and their banter as I read through.

Crichton wrote the screenplay for the movie. Memory says this was in a play type format.

This novelization of the movie was fine. It wasn't exceptional, it wasn't terrible, but in this case the movie was better. I'm no sorry I read it, there is some interesting backstory in the book. If you loved the movie, read the book. If you didn't love the movie, don't bother.
