Customer reviews:  bit more, bit less... exactly as expected, 2008-06-04
It's true that there are some extra scenes thrown into the story to fluff up some weaker points, but even these additions need fluffing. So, the extras are bare-bone, mear footnotes. Just as well, there are some scenes left out of the book. They may be minor clips in the movie, but those scenes are still etched into my mind when I remember the movie. So, in the end my expectations were met but those expectations were set very high... as this is just a novelization.

This is an essential for any "Back To the Future" Fan. It is based on an earlier version of the movie script, so there are some scenes in the book that are not in the movie. For example, in the movie Marty is given detention, but we are never shown him in detention. The book shows Marty getting out of detention in a very ingenious way.
Admittedly, these novelizations were more fun-and more necessary-before the advent of VCRs and DVDs. These books allowed you to replay the movies in your head, being shepherded and prompted by the book.
There is a charm to the "Back To The Future" franchise. It has classical elements of fate and an new twist on the Oedipus Complex. The city of Hill Valley becomes a character in its own right.
