WOW!!
26. April 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I got this because I was curious about the movie. It seems that the author who wrote this also wrote another book, Superstorms, that it says on the cover inspired the movie.
I sat down with the Day After Tomorrow and it just plain swept me away. These books written based on movies are usually rank garbage, but this was created by a master, that is very clear. The writing just soars, it is moving, it is scary, it presents the characters as complex people, the descriptions are wonderful.
Frankly, this book belongs between hardcovers. It should never have been issued like this as a knockoff book, even though it is based on the script. This is a completely enthralling and fabulous piece of thriller writing. And as far as the movie is concerned, after reading this, I would not miss it for anything.

Amazingly replica of movie!
5. Juni 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Having watched the movie, it'd be pretty unjust to the author if i were to blatantly give this book 1 or 2 stars.
Basically,THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW is a novel based on the climatic disaster caused by global warming.Professor Jack Hall foresees that as global warming and greenbouse gases are released,climatic changes round the world.Ice regions at the Antarctica starts melting...and this means ultimate havoc.
As Hall tries to convince the people of the immpending danger,his son Sam proceeds to Manhatten for a competition.But what they least expected that hurricanes,twisters,hailstorms and all kinds of natural disasters were already on their way:People froze to death by the sudden most cold,twisters and tornadoes come blasting off buildings...and even countries like Japan and New Dehli in India were not let off.
It was at this moment that Manhatten, was too,caught inthe tussle of a great flood that actually sank the entire city in plain white snow.
This novel is exacty a replica of the movie.Except that mushy lines found here were seemingly erased from the movie.The book is average,it's almost a narration text of the movie.But it does portrayed the emotions of the characters which you will not find in the movie.Like what Laura (Sam's classmate)'s thoughts were when Sam revealed his feelings for her.Basically,that's it.
And a word of warning though: If you've watched the movie,you'd probably not want to grab this book.

The end of the world as we know it!
17. Mai 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
No one, save a very few, takes paleoclimatologist (the study of past climate trends) Jack Hall's worries about the melting polar ice disrupting the North Atlantic current and causing a massive superstorm very seriously. Then the current disappears and the weater goes mad. Now they listen, but it's too late to avoid a new ice age and the people in the North are doomed to a certain death by freezing. That certainty does not stop Jack Hall from setting out to rescue is son, who is trapped in the frozen wasteland that was once New York City.
Whitley Strieber, who co-wrote (with radio personality Art Bell) The Coming Global Superstorm (the book that writer/director Roland Emmerich admits 'inspired' his epic disaster movie), does an excellent job of fleshing out the obviously action heavy script. The result is a quick rollercoaster ride of a book. Fans of Strieber, Bell, or Irwin Allen reincarnate Roland Emmerich's movie will want this in their collection. Recommended.
