Forget the movies read the books is my overall reaction upon finally reading the complete Cocoon trilogy of books. I remember watching the two Cocoon moves back in the eighties and enjoying them so when I came upon the books on Kindle I started reading them. While I enjoyed the movie I believe the books are so much better as they make it about more than just old folks getting a new lease on life via an encounter with aliens. Metamorphosis and Tomorrow's Children gives us the wider view of what happens to what the aliens call the Geriatric Brigade once they leave Earth. While book 2 dealt with the effects of the process the brigade went through in much more detail including their new found ability to have children with various alien mates and some of their eventual return to Earth for the births themselves, book 3 deals a lot more with the children themselves and how their mixed heritage has allowed them to evolve into people more advanced then their parents or the Antareans. I won't spoil the book for anyone who hasn't read it yet but I believe it definitely worth reading and I wouldn't mind seeing the trilogy redone as a mini series or movies that more accurately tell the story as it was told in the books.
