*gasp* WELL, this book was SO BLOODY HARD TO FIND!! ohhh my godI searched for more than two years to find a copy at a reasonable price. All I could find were used copies for over 100 Euros or Dollars.The Butterfly Effect is my forever favorite movie, which I've probably watched 10+ times by now, so I really wanted to read this book. But I can tell you, it's not worth it. The book is based on the movie and is literally a 1:1 copy of it. Sooooo, rather watch the movie.I am giving it 5 stars becaus...

" "There are no small things!" his father's lips trembled. "It's like ripples on a pond, echoes in a cave, ocean waves, falling dominoes, the butterfly effect..." "So don't get me wrong, this book is good, but there was just something about the writing style that really dropped it down a star? I'd give it a solid 6/10. The storyline was completely accurate to the film, didn't stray for one page, and only elaborated very slightly on the basic themes within each chapter. I just personally felt lik...

James Swallow's novelization of Bress and Gruber's film "The Butterfly Effect" is an engaging and smooth read. It follows the film to extreme accuracy and doesn't deviate from it - apart from the closing scene to which I enjoyed it's clearer and definitive answer as to what happens after Evan crosses paths with Kayleigh once more. Reading this book enticed great enjoyment and at moments I rathered the book than the film, as I was able to halt reading and absorb the scene and process my emotional...

"Love it"I loved this movie, though at times argued that some of the time travel twists might be edging on philosophical impossibility. It talks of a young man who had the ability to travel back to the past to alter events of his life; through doing such he experienced one after another haphazard scenarios. No matter how hard he tried to change the past, there was always imperfection in the future that he couldn’t live with – he felt he had to go back and change it once again. “Just pick a trage...

Educational and exciting!

Если бы у меня была возможность изменить прошлое, зная, что подобное вмешательство может как-то повлиять на исход будущего? Готова была бы я рискнуть чем-то дорогим для меня и близким, чтобы внести изменения в ход событий? Прочтя эту книгу, я теперь затрудняюсь дать однозначный ответ, но в очередной раз прихожу к выводу, что у всего есть своя причина, пускай и не совсем понятная нам на первый взгляд. Более того, не стоит терзать себя размышления о том, что если бы я чего-то не сделала, или сдела...

Updates: I finally bought it! After like 3 long freaking years. Found a used copy with acceptable condition at Ebay. Snatched it at USD11.91 (RM50.02). Freaking expensive for a used book! There goes my book budget for the month. But I couldn't help it. This book is out of print and very hard to find. Most copies found are used and even more expensive than this copy. Sighhh... at least I could sleep better knowing it is almost in my hands now. I hope they ship it out soon. Come to momma baby!* Au...

The first book I ever read that I actually had to pause and set down for a moment, just so I could sob profusely.
Loved it!

Interestingly convincing... and it made everything you haven't understood in the movie clear.

Sometimes it was far more dramatic and touching than the movie which had its ups and downs.

After seeing a teaser trailer for the movie, I grabbed the book at a corner store and read it on a trip. I thought the book, which is based on the screenplay, was fantastic.

Turned out to be a positively horrible movie, though.

Go figure.
