Great Story

Have not yet seen this movie. But I now look forward to seeing it soon.

The movie + inner thoughts

This is just like the movie in almost every way, the only difference is that it includes the thoughts of many of the characters which adds to the backstory of them as well.

I don’t believe there are any additional scenes or anything like that in this book, but the reactions and thoughts do you add a new flavor to it.

There is may be also a strange juxtaposition where Alita gets her new body and transitions immediately from being a teenager to a woman and the weirdness that that brings up for the doctor and the nurse observing us. The movie doesn’t really mention that and that scene is a little different in the book versus the movie.

follows the movie really well with added details

I've seen the movie multiple times, and the anime, and still found I really enjoyed the audio book. It did a great job adding details and expanding. Really enjoyable, and great on its own I'm sure.

A FAN
