I think thats called the 'blurb' on the back of the dvd case, rather than novel.

I don't get this. Will Smith clearly says "Welcome to Earth!" when he punches the alien.

Every time I watch that movie I'll never understand the ending. Like, they take down 1 ship and then use morse code to tell the other countries how to take them down.

Except they took that 1 ship down by mounting 1 final offensive utilizing the remainder of the world's air forces and still had to rely on 1 guy flying into the mega weapon at precisely the right time to cause it to backfire (lol). How the gently caress does that help anybody?

"hey guys we totally know how to destroy their ships! You just have to wait for the aliens to prepare to fire their mega weapon, and then have a suicidal pilot fly a plane right into it at exactly the right moment! Good luck! We got um beat!!!!'

No no, they deactivate the previously-impenetrable shields by loading a computer virus into the mothership and blowing it up, thereby allowing all other ships to be destroyed w conventional earth weapons.

I remember seeing the laptop w a CD drive and being utterly blown away

No they specifically say it's squadrons from around the world.

And even if it were it still doesn't explain how they take them down other than getting incredibly lucky.

id42 is actually about how they really destroyed all those ships in a grueling war of attrition that left most of the planet uninhabitable
