I was pleasantly surprised then, and more than a little relieved, to find out that ‘Conan the Barbarian’ isn’t a movie tie-in at all. My ‘movie tie-in’ reading includes the original ‘Conan the Barbarian’, another book that didn’t quite match up to the film, so you can understand where I’m coming from here! With this previous track record in movie novelizations I’ve got to admit that I winced a little when a copy of ‘Conan the Barbarian’ came through the door. Vinge’s ‘Ladyhawke’, a book that has a lot more depth to it than the film and no annoying disco soundtrack that gets in your head when it really has no business being there.
If you were wondering, that book was Joan D.
I’m not saying anything bad about movie novelizations per se, all I’m saying is that I’ve only ever read one where the book was better than the film.
