Yes, it's official. But it's not the book from which they made the movie. The movie is what the book was written from. And as the movie release was delayed from December 2008, Alan Dean Foster (the author) even got to see the whole completed film before finishing the novel. And, being an Alan Dean Foster adaption, it shouldn't be just a scene-by-scene description of the movie, but have additional insights to the characters and situations.
It's next on my list to read.

It keeps popping up in my head and in my inbox (thanx to the BoB Newsletter  ) and I'd like to know if I'm getting the real stuff or if it's just something someone else cooked up.
Not sure how to explain - I don't like fanfiction, it messes up the "real" stories |
