Has anyone read this book? I just saw the movie. It was good. The version on Netflix is not the popular one. That's a poor imitation of the good one which stars David Bowie. If you haven't seen it, give it a chance.
I've heard that the Netflix version is just bad in every respect. The story is about an extra terrestrial that visits Earth in search of water and technology that will allow him to transport his family from their home planet to Earth. David Bowie plays the extra terrestrial named Thomas Jerome Newton.
