Book Reviews of Before the Dawn (Dark Angel)
Book Review: Very Dissappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
As a huge fan of the show I was excited to hear that I would finnally be able to get my Dark Angel fix after many years of withdrawl. Sadly, I was let down.
First, this is not a good book. Its badly written and the descriptions are very clinical and wooden, it lacks the passion that the show had.
Secondly, It doesn't match up with the TV Show. I'm really supposed to believe the OC was in the military, sorry, no way. I also don't buy that Logan knew another x5 before Max. There were other problems too. Maybe I'm getting a little nit-picky here, but OC was from Los Angeles in the series, not Texas. Finnally what was that ridiculous 10-page kiss-up job about what a great movie Titanic was. Sure, it was a great movie, but this is supposed to be about Dark Angel.
All in all I was very dissappointed. I still haven't finished the book. And I don't intend to.
Book Review: Quite Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
This book does not do justice to this series, which is saying quite a bit, given how quickly the show met its demise. First of all, there are many inconsistencies between the book and the series. Facts just don't match up. Second, there is pointless and frequent profanity. Come on, this was a TV show, not an R rated movie. Kids who could handle the series shouldn't go near this book. Third, the editing is lousy. At times, even names were spelled incorrectly.
Overall, the story isn't bad. It's entertaining and a quick read. If it was just another book, the rating would be at least a three. But given the way it fails to mesh with the series, I can't give it anything besides a 2.
Book Review: WARNING
Summary: 2 Stars
I enjoyed the story of this book very much, but was very disappointed with all the profanity in it. I know the show used swearing a good bit, but this was excessive and foul.Book Review: No.
Summary: 1 Stars
What are you guys talking about? It's a bad book, it doesn't stay true to max's personality at all. I mean, 'grown up soldiers'? What is that? They may be kids but they're supposed to be genetically engineered soldiers. where would they pick up the word 'grown ups'? Not only that, but the description of max at the start is somewhat pedaphaeliac. James Cameron must be crying himself to sleep each night.
