There was a sequel though!
ET, the book of the green planet.
It was a bit weird, shifting into ET's perspective as the main character, but it is a delightful read despite that.
Edit: he mentions it in the article, and I think his opinion that it was a better book than it could ever be as a movie is dead on.
Jo Miran below mentioned this, but they took elements from the book/potential sequel when making the ET ride at Universal.
That's cool as hell :)
