review 2: This novelization of the Battlefield 3 video game is enjoyable because it tells the other side of the story. The game tells it's story from 2 perspectives. Sergeant Henry Blackburn of the U.S. Marine Corps, and Dmitiri Mayakovsky, and ex-Spetsnaz Russian soldier. The game focuses primarily on Blackburn's story, with a few missions dedicated to Mayakovsky to change things up. This book focuses mainly on Mayakovsky's story, and it's cool to see all the stuff that was going on behind the scenes, and only hinted at in the game. As far as video game adaptations go, it's one of the better ones. less

A badly written cash-in to coincide with the release of the game. Don't read it. Isn't worth it.
