Absolutely amazing book! The Lost Boys is my favourite movie, and if you love the movie as much as I do, you need this book in your life! It's very true to the film and even has a few creepy extras thrown in! Addictive read, I read it in a day because I couldn't put it down! Highly recommended.

I don't think I even finished this book.
I like to read adaptations of movies I like because I like to know backstory, motivations, the things the director/editor left on the cutting-room floor (Alan Dean Foster is particularly good at this, and Vonda McIntyre's adaptations of ST-II and -III genuinely add to the stories).
Gardner offered none of these - it was a word-for-word transcription of the script without even an attempt to flesh things out.

I bought this book because the movie was one of my favorite movies in the 80s (a movie about vampires who ride motorbikes, AND a kick-ass soundtrack - how could I resist?).
This is a good movie-tie.
They don't sparkle, they don't mope.....they feed.

It was 'fun' to read, in the novel, what was 'cut' from the movie. A true classic!

An absolutely top-notch novelization. Well worth its treasure hunt publication status. If you're interested, I was a guest to discuss it on an episode of I Read Movies:

I absolutely love the story of The Lost Boys. Because of this I also wanted to fall in love with this novel. Ever since seeing the movie I wanted to know more about them only to find that the book really didn't supply much more. Sure, there were little scenes that tightened some parts up the author reveals why certain things are done. I just feel like Craig Shaw Gardner got lazy in several parts when he wasn't interested. Aside from that, I didn't mind that it was nearly word for word with the m...more

The Lost Boys by Craig Gardner, even though it was written as a publicity stunt for the movie is still a great entertaining read. As a little in there that isn't in the movie that you can pick out if you read the book after watching it, not much though. But never the less you should give it a read, that is if you can find a copy..

Novelization of the movie. Lots of good stuff here that adds to the movie's story.

It is pretty much the same as the movie. It isnt the best novelization I've read. It shows some deeper insight into what the characters were thinking.
LOVE!

This was pretty terrible, even for a novelization. You can tell that it was a rushed job, it's basically the script of the film with some touch ups. There's almost nothing added except for a few unnecessary scenes with Micheal eating a mouse and trying to take a shower but the water burns him. There's also a lot of errors. One moment Edgar has a slingshot, and then they call it a shotgun. Dwayne and Paul are switched during the final fight. Some crucial lines in the script are thrown out without...more

This has always been one of my favourite films and I was really pleased when I found the tie-in novel for it. I saw the film again recently and it reminded me that I had the book on my shelf.
I really enjoyed this adaptation of the film. It stuck to the film well and flowed really well and brought the film back to me as I was reading it. If you like the film I see no reason why you shouldn't enjoy the book as well.
4 stars - a good film adaptation.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful!! This is the way I like vampires. They burn in the sun and they sleep in caves, not in some wonderful cabin in the woods Ahem TWILIGHT! This is a wonderful book that I like to read all the time I would be sitting on the couch in my living room reading this book and my mother woulds ask me haven't you already read that book and I would say yes I have but I still like to read it!

Pretty much follows the movie exactly.
This book was good and a little scary!
some nice scenes that didn't make it into the film including michael eating a mouse. lots of fun
One of my favorite movies ever, my book copy is looking pretty well used too!
I don't think I actually want to read this but as the movie is so beloved to me and I literally just stumbled upon this I'll put this here as a reminder.
