Most of this book disappointed me, as it seemed to be "telling" more than it "showed," over-explaining character motivations and interior thought. I did appreciate the insight into Underwater E.T. Eventually this is explained (along with the "I" of the narrator) in a way that is mostly satisfying. I'm glad I read it, but it's not better than the movie, as some have implied. ( )

El océano guarda muchos secretos: ahora, uno de ellos intenta decirnos algo. En la propia Tierra hay lugares más insólitos que el espacio exterior. En las profundidades submarinas del mar Caribe, un submarino nuclear norteamericano escapa misteriosamente de control.

Un equipo de especialistas de la Marina, junto con la tripulación de la estación de perforación petrolífera Deepcore, se sumergen para investigar lo ocurrido, y quedan atrapados al borde de una inmensa fosa, de donde sólo podrán ser rescatados de la manera más sorprendente...

This novelisation of the movie "The Abyss" misses the movie's amazing (for the times) special effects but does have a much greater depth (ho ho), to the characters, which helps flesh them out and explain why they are acting the way they are. ( )

This is wh I prefer books to movies. I don't remember crying durring the movie and yet I'll admit I did while reading. I think movies do their best to make it seem real while books make us want it to be real. James Cameron wrote "seeing is believing." Sorry I think we only beleive what we chose to. It's reading that allows me to turn off reality and live in the book. I like watching the movie, but it was a lifetime ago. Now I want to rewatch the movie,but there is no doubt that the master Card has actually added to the movie. ( )
