I ended up getting it at barnes and noble at 20% off.


Good book, reads like the movie will play. Not sure I agree with the ending yet.

If you look closely you'll realize the ending...isn't even the ending.

It's just a good place to leave the story off while keeping the final ending a secret.

Great, so those wondering if the ending will be a problem will have to wait until the 21st.

Was hoping the novel had some answers.

Oh the novel has plenty of answers and a hell of a LOT to love.

But they are very wise.

If they had put the ending in the Book...then it would have been spoiled like the Ending of T3 was.

Having it only be available on the day of film release means that they've kept the damned thing a closely guarded secret. And not given ANYONE the chance to find it out in advance.

Probably the best publicity that film could have was spoiling the ending . Me and Dawei have been hearing perplexing things about Salvations ending. If I know what it is and dont mind it, thatll be one less con.

Way disagreed.

This simplicity of the matter is that if you read the novel and like the first 9/10ths of the novel. (As most fans have...comparing it very favorably to T2 no less at T-Files).

Then the odds are that even if the new ending is risky it will at the very least be of the same high caliber as the rest of the film.

I'll have to check that thread out for myself, you know that

[rossbondreturns]

Feel free mate.

Can't miss it.

It's rather large and full of reviews.

[dn38416]

Cross referencing their povs with their T3 povs now lol

Wow yeah...that's important.

[dn38416]

Well to be honest ross, its quite important. If I find someone who thinks more like me, I'll more likely value their opinion. Also when the film arrives, when I see posters that disliked t3 and knew exactly why it was wrong, that are head over heels for Salvation, Ill know something special has occured.

Well if you've looked at that 12 page thread you'd already know that ...people that dragged T3 through the mud...are in fact Digging the hell out of the Novel.

Really? Ive now went through every post there beside the spoilers.

A quote from Klasodeth:

While I wouldn't quite elevate it to the level of T2, so far I think it's a lot better than T3. I do have some criticisms of the story, though. Some of them are well-known already, and some are new. But in general it seems to be a pretty good story and I don't think I'll find myself picking it apart the way I've been prone to doing with T3. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the novel so far, so my opinion may or may not be revised somewhat once I get to the end, but so far so good.

And from Lister87:

That said, the story was interesting, and kept me reading for 5 hours straight, i'm not sure if anything can knock T1 or T2 off their high pedestals in my mind, but i think this could potentially be a brilliant movie.

And from The Dark Shape:

So far, I have to give major credit to a continuity aspect story-wise - we're certainly following up T3 (no blatant contradictions so far), but this story is also a definite sequel to

T2. So for people who like T3, like me, this is another sequel, whereas people who hate ROTM can jump right from T2 to TS without any issues.

From Sketarius:

Ah dude, i totally just finished the book, and WOW! I loved it! It had everything I wanted to see in a Terminator movie. I'll tell you right now, CRS is no where to be seen, it's all Cyberdyne w00t! Figured that would reinforce a prequel approach, but too early to tell.

From Spineblade:

K im reading the novel and im loving it. Except at times i think the action is just too far out there anyone else think this? Haha i know i know it will be much better in the movie i just seem to imagine the action scenes being very goofy.

These are pretty good reviews though. I do notice YOUR insistence about BEATING T2 moreso though:

And yes...for those of you who hold T2 above all others...watch out...it's gonna give T2 a run for

its money IMHO.

Izzy replies: We'll see

I think you'll really really enjoy it Izzy.

Cyberdynes return is VERY good news though.
