Horror and mystery writer McDowell has fleshed out the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn and (it seems) has retained all the zingy dialogue. ("Communism was just a red herring") from the movie.

The book is a breezy read, and although the four alternate endings presented at the conclusion were each preposterous (albeit nothing was meant to not be in this tale), it's a good time to be had by anyone just looking for a fun read. Perfect for an airplane trip where you can fantasize about murdering airline and oil company executives while sitting on the tarmac.
