We get a deeper look into each character and to the situation at hand. A few years ago I exchanged some e-mails with David Morrel, author of First Blood. I wrote to him that I would liked to have read a novelization of Rambo (4th film). He said fans were not interested in novelizations anymore due to the rapid turn around time from when a movie opens to the time the Blu-ray is available. I disagree. If I like a movie I would love to read a novelization of it. Same here. Lots of additional thoughts are there for us readers. Plus it is written by Marvin Wolfman, always a Plus to me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read if only once then pass on *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2016* The best movie tie in book ever ! a must read if you were miffed at the movie. Expands the movie( loved it by the way) adds depth to all the characters they didn't have time for in the restricted movie length. Also has most of the joker/harley scenes that D.C., had the director cut out to keep the PG 13 rating. Yes the pair will be getting their own rated R movie , but it was nice to see read if not see a joker/ Harley me in tune with comics. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The good, the bad, and the in-between *by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016* As we all know, the Suicide Squad film had some serious issues. And going by what was onscreen alone, there was really no way to figure out how much of this had to do with studio interference, and how much was intrinsic to factors such as the script being written in six weeks (!) Does the novelization clear up the question one way or the other? Well... yes and no. Spoilers ahead...The Good: The characterizations are, for the most part, much more in depth. Their interactions are more believable. The narrative is clearly from the hard-R script that David Ayer almost certainly originally came up with, so it feels more authentic. The book begins with Dr. June Moone finding the Enchantress statue in a cave, which would make so much more sense as an opening scene. It's ridiculous to have June Moone/Enchantress as such a central part of the plot onscreen when she's essentially suddenly stuck in halfway through with no buildup. The Joker/Harley relationship is portrayed so much more realistically-- this is basically where they were back in the day, before Harley struck out on her own. If she's going to grow as a character, which she certainly did in the graphic novels, then she has to start here. It was much more offensive (IMHO) to see the abusive nature of the early relationship played down on film, because then we don't see what she eventually rejects (especially in her new series.) Overall, there's just so much more depth. BUT...The Bad:The book DOES NOT contain everything that was in the original script, or everything that was filmed. After the extended edition of the film came out, it's especially easy to see that a lot was still missing in the book. There are many scenes both in the extended edition and also glimpsed in the trailers that don't show up in the book at all. Yes, I know, other reviewers are saying that it's all there, but it isn't. Just go through all the added extended scenes in the movie-- a lot of that is not in the book, including the scene where Harley chases Joker on the motorcycle and then confronts him. Count up all the material that was teased in the trailer-- mostly not in the book. For instance, we still don't really see the "I can't wait to show you my toys" scene-- it's *kind of* hinted at in the book... maybe? But not actually there. We don't see the deleted scenes that were written about in that Reddit article, and while there's no way to know for sure if any of that was ever actually shot or even in the shooting script... potential readers should know not to expect any of that when they buy the book. Basically, there's extra material in the book for sure. But there's still a lot, a LOT of stuff that either certainly or probably existed in the original movie and then got cut out... and it's not here either. So we still don't know what was really in the original version of the narrative. Just as in the movie, a lot of the narrative sags and drags about 2/3 of the way through for a looooong time.It still does not seem believable at all that this group of ragtag killer misfits suddenly bonds and becomes one big happy family.It isn't any easier to believe that they suddenly became besties with Flag, or didn't just shoot him and run away when he disabled the neck bombs.The Enchantress is still a basically silly villain, although she at least makes more sense in the novelization. I suspect-- and I think you will too-- that her role was cut down on film because Cara Delevinge is a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad actress. But even if she'd had the onscreen charisma of Margot Robbie, the character would still feel unconnected to everything else in the story-- and in the book, she does too.In a lot of ways, the book does illustrate the issues with the movie, both good and bad. I think that through reading it, you do see that the film could have been much better... but you also understand that it had fundamental problems from the start. Overall, this is more than worth reading, and the author is certainly great. So if you're interested in getting a much more in-depth feel for what the director wanted Suicide Squad to be... I would recommend the book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/109603192-suicide-squad-the-official-movie-novelization-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/109603192-suicide-squad-the-official-movie-novelization-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
