For a brief period of time it appeared that Jason Lives adaptor Simon Hawke would be writing novelizations of the entire Friday the 13th film series, but thankfully he never made it past Part 2. After all, there is far better material for novels out there. This 'novel' is really nothing more than the film in book form, fans hoping that it might contain the sequel's pre-final cut expanded ending will come away disappointed. I sure did.

This book is an entertaining read. It follows the film to the exact. Oddly, the cover of the book features the movie poster art of the 1980 orginal film rather than the poster for Part 2. Anyway, a good book to collect if you can get your hands on it since it was the best of all the sequels.

Very funny book. It led to me getting in some minor trouble in school as I became the "Phantom" of my high school.
