Book Reviews of Before the Dawn (Dark Angel)
Book Review: Excellent for all DA fans
Summary: 5 Stars
DARK ANGEL: BEFORE THE DAWN is a fascinating prequel novel that is a treat for any DA fan to read. Max Collins has all the characters down pat, and the backgrounding he does for Max, Original Cindy, Logan, and the other regulars of the show is fascinating. After reading this book one can go back and view Season 1 and Season 2 of the series in a slightly different light, picking up clues that were not noticed before that lead back to Max's earlier life before she came to Seattle. Mr. Collins also does an excellent job of foreshadowing things-to-come in the DA universe, threads that will undoubtedly be continued in his DA sequel novel SKIN GAME which picks up the storyline after the last televised episode of the show. If you're a DARK ANGEL fan, please buy BEFORE THE DAWN! The read is well worth your time!Book Review: Excellent stuff, but not for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely amazing work by Max Allan Collins. An excellent prequel to the series, which was a great series, I thought. Sad that Fox removed it--and considering some of the stuff they're showing now, it's obvious that to some extent they don't know what they're doing. Anyway, the story was right out of an episode of the show, but my biggest complaint (and my only complaint, really) was the pervasive foul language. That really spoiled it for me. We really could've done without it. Still, the story itself was a great story, and I enjoyed the flow of the story. If you ever wanted to know what was so significant about the Space Needle that Max is always on at the end of most episodes, read the book. But not recommended for kids.Book Review: A terrific read for Dark Angel fans
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautifully written, 'Before The Dawn' would be required reading for die-hard Dark Angel fans even if the series were still running. Max Allan Collins has given us what we crave -- the Dark Angel "fix" fans have needed since we first heard the series was going to be cancelled early in 2002. This book isn't just terrific brain candy -- it takes a deeper look at some things we saw in the show (such as Max's thoughts as she escaped, and life with her first 'adopted' family), and it fills in a lot of gaps in Max's history as a Manticore escapee on the run in pre- and post-pulse America. I'll be watching eagerly for future DA works from Mr. Collins.Book Review: Absolutely Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was absolutely perfect! Normally, if I see a TV series and then read the book I can find at least 5 mistakes in the book, but not so in this case. This book gave vital information on the early days of Dark Angel. If you're are Dark Angel fan you absolutely must read this book. Collins did an excellent job on portraying the other X5's in Max's group. I am waiting very impatiently for Dark Angel #2. If you like the series you'll love this book.Book Review: Excellent Read!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Like most who bought these books I was distrought that season two ended so abruptly and left so many unanswered questions. This particular book doesn't answer to many of them but gives great insight into Max's past and makes it so she isn't the only one with a deep dark secret. The author makes it feel like your watching the show the way the dialogue flows. I just loved the book and highly recommend it to any dark angel fan.
