Pierre Boulle was also the author of "The Poseidon Adventure", like all of the films based on his work, there are twists and turns that were not put in the film (the teenage girl was raped and then WANTED to have the rapist's baby, for starters).
The book is okay, but it doesn't have the shot of the guy falling backwards into the light fixture and being electrocuted...or Leslie Nielson saying, "A giant wall of water...headed right towards us..."

    Thanks for the correction! That's what can happen when I am at one location, and my books (which include "The Poseidon Adventure") are at another. I appreciate the information!
