Another good movie novelization, revealing more and adding scenes which the movie's director either couldn't fit into the movie itself due to keeping its run time reasonable or due to budget limitations. In recent years I have tired of Claremont's over-wordiness and repeated character cliches in his comic books work, but have always thought he would be better off writing novels, where such flaws would be less noticeable.

This kind of bugged me as unnecessary when seeing the movie itself but at least Claremont expands upon the scenes in the novelization and kind of "rationalizes" them.
