Book Reviews of Heroes: Saving Charlie: A Novel
Book Review: Hero is my Hero
Summary: 3 Stars
There are no spoilers in this review so please read along.
Honestly I had low expectations for this book. I am a huge Heroes fan but didn't expect this part of the extended storyline to be interesting at all, this part of the overall story was only in one episode and was very brief. I was pleasantly surprised by this story as it was interesting and kept with the baseline of the main story. Mind you this isn't literature, but it was an entertaining read. Fans will like the treatment of Hero in this and frankly it helps to explain some inconsistencies elsewhere in the first series. The day after I finished reading it I had to watch Season I all over again.
I would suggest getting a used copy if you are a casual fan - you'll throw it away when you are done. As for the hard core folks, this fills in some nice little gaps and will be treasured. The cover art, font composition and other aesthetic points of the book itself were nice. Pages were thin but that is common in a trade book. The perfect binding even held up to my normal abuse. If you are a heavy reader like me this book will take just a couple of evenings. If you are obsessive and read Divinci Code in like a day, you'll read this in a few hours.
For the folks who control the story line I would suggest spending some time looking at how Lucas & Star Wars handle the extended universe, lots of cross over and tons of cool story lines - things like this book are exactly what fans want.
Summary of Heroes: Saving Charlie: A Novel
?Save the cheerleader, save the world? are the defining words of Heroes, the phenomenal series that has transformed television drama. They are also the cryptic marching orders for the show?s cross section of ordinary individuals united by an extraordinary bond. Each possesses a superhuman ability, and together they must prevent the course of history from taking a terrifying turn. Now, in this original novel based on the TV phenomenon, in a thrilling story that will captivate even those who haven?t seen the show, one of these unexpected saviors steps center stage on a deeply personal quest that will test the limits of his gift, the depth of his love, and the ultimate strength of his will.Hiro Nakamura possesses the remarkable power to control time. And like his uniquely blessed comrades, he?s on a mission for the good of humankind. But another challenge awaits him: saving the love of his life from an unspeakable death. Charlene ?Charlie? Andrews is the big-hearted, small-town beauty whose sunny smile and sweet soul knocked the shy Hiro head over heels. But when Charlie?s young life is snuffed out by a grisly serial killer, their budding romance is brutally cut short.
Or is it? Thanks to his astounding newfound skill, Hiro has the means to do what no tragedy-stricken lover in history ever could?turn back time. And no matter how raw his abilities, or how many twists of circumstance conspire to foil him, he vows to deliver Charlie from the evil poised to claim her. He will be her hero.
But what possible consequences might changing the past visit upon the future? How could saving one cherished life affect millions of others? And what ultimate choice will Hiro make when the power of fate rests in his hands?
