I don't usually read Science fiction. And I'm pretty sure that Alita is just the second sci-fi book that I actually liked. (First being The Host by Stephanie Meyer)
I've come to realise that I only enjoy sci-fi books when the lead character is a female teenager. Maybe it's because it turns too techy otherwise, I'm not sure.
Anyway, coming back to the book, Alita was awesome! I simply do not have words to describe how good it was.
The characters were so well created, with Alita's childish innocence to Hugo's dream to Ido's over protectiveness; it was so well done.
The storyline was flawless, and I was grateful there wasn't too much tech-language to confuse me.
The ending left me teary and wanting more. I can't wait to read the sequel, to read what will happen next. I so want to watch Alita take her revenge.
I HATE waiting for sequels!

I am realizing I have almost no memory of the movie. I couldn’t tell you if the book deviated or followed it shot for shot. I had fun with the book though, definitely looking forward to rewatching the film now.

Ik ben blij dat ik het boek gelezen heb maar ben toch net iets meer fan van de verfilming. Ik kan niet zeggen dat het een slecht boek is maar het is gewoon niet mijn soort boek. De rating is dan ook puur gebaseerd op mijn leeservaring. Ik heb de eerste helft als luisterboek geluisterd en middenin verwisseld naar de paperback omdat ik daar net iets meer mijn aandacht kon bijhouden.

Though I saw the movie first and I knew what was coming I still enjoyed reading the book.
Good action packed read.

Pretty good story, easy to get into, a little short, but still quite good.

Audio book review.
Love the movie, therefore, I love the novelization. I feel like the book goes into more detail and does a better job of explaining some of the more subtle points in the movie. I like that we get Alita's fiery inner dialogue for part of the story, and I feel like we got even more tantalizing clues about Zalem. I think this was very well-written.
