FANTASTIC Article on THE BLACK HOLE

[Bruce Banner]

Great article on one of the my favourite movies.

Yeah, the ending has always been a fascinating conundrum. I was always intrigued by the fact that the movie, the novelization, the storybook, the comic adaptation and the book/record all essentially had different endings.

I had forgotten about that, I read the novelization immediately when released but didn't see the film until later on cable TV.

I've never read the novelization, is it worth a read? Does it break any new ground?

From what I recall it was very close to the movie except the ending. The book's ending is just as weird but not as good. Instead of traveling through a version of their own heaven and hell their consciousness just kind of merge with the universe.

I remember the Novellization places it at Christmas time, and has the crew online shopping for their families on Earth! Prescient!
