Book Reviews of Metal Gear Solid
Book Review: Pretty good book
Summary: 4 Stars
I think this is a pretty good book. I enjoy the action sequences and the story telling. The only thing I hated was how the author turned Snake which is a hardened , quiet , war veteran into a happy go lucky war machine. I would like to see more detail in the environment and characters. Fans of the series would be aware of what things should look like, but some of could use a refreshment. ANYWAYS I enjoyed the book very much. Definitely worth reading more than once. Has a slower start but so does the game and this book follows the game pretty darn close.Book Review: If you like the game you will enjoy the book...
Summary: 4 Stars
Solid Snake is brought out of retirement by the government to fight terrorist. The terrorist have nuclear weapons and possession of an island that is a nuclear disposal facility. They threaten to blow up the world.
Several of the characters have paranormal abilities due to DNA enhancement. I found the dialogue to the contrived. This novel is based on the video game. Metal Gear Solid is action packed though most of it is unbelievable. Raymond Benson is well known for his James Bond novels. If you like the game you will enjoy the book.

Book Review: Done right for a change
Summary: 4 Stars
Even though this is just a redo of the hit game, nothing was changed that would undo the story or change it in any way, what they did add was a few eliminates from a few of the other metal gear games that add to the book. For those who are new to the series its a great start to get you into it, and for those who aren't its a good walk down memory lane.Book Review: SOLID
Summary: 4 Stars
Action-packed right from the beginning. Benson creates an aura of mystery that is never fully explain which leads me to believe that they will be another book in this series, despite this aura, this book reels you in from start to finish. A must read from fans of the video game or fans of the Benson's Splinter Cell novels.
