I take it you're not talking about the book of the 1950s movie, right?

I"m talking about the book that was written in 1933 by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer, so yeah, probably.

Hello, as i have some difficulties to read in English, I have not read the sequel (this one wasn't translated in French ), is it as so interesting that the first book?
BTW, the Rudolph Mat?© 1951 movie was just a funny film... Don't know if the When Worlds Collide project a remake by Stephen Sommers (announced 2008) is always programmed...

Post Scriptum : I try (In French for the moment) to compil a listing (with comments) about Science fiction texts adaptated on screen (Movie films, Tv, animated, serials, and so on...) If you know some rare items, please tell me (in private if you want). I will try to post somewhere the work-in-Progress list (a .doc file), if someone is interested.

I didn't know there was a sequel! Though the summary of it on wikipedia doesn't sound very exciting - I guess it's so old that this sort of thing has become scifi cliche ;).
