review 1: What if the Artful (paper from 47North) Dodger met up with the future Queen Elizabeth and fought vampyres with Bram Van Helsing. Peter David takes this silly concept and turns it into a fun melodrama, mixing in characters from Oliver Twist like Fagin and Fang (now vampyres) and ...

review 1: The plot of the book taken from the graphic novel of the same series is actually pretty basic for a super hero team, I have not read the graphic novel so i cannot say how it holds up to the original version or how much it diverge from the graphic novel. What i can say is that th...

review 1: It follows the movie plot very closely. Since I read this as research, it didn't matter to me that I knew what was going to happen. I did learn some things from the book that you don't learn in the movie, most of them concerning names: How Pepper got her nickname, Jarvis is an ac...

review 1: The plot of this book had lots of potential. What I have always loved about Peter David is the way he writes emotional scenes; if you are not careful, you will find yourself tearing up.However, the plot's potential wasn't fully realized. The flashbacks to the family's history add...

review 1: I fell in love with this book at first sight The tale of rich boy Thomas and his poorer but loyal servant James is facinating and keeps me racing through the pages. Though the only enemy here is balverines. I hoped there would be Hollow Men and stuff. Though Peter had written thi...

review 1: Okay, another MUST READ!! I have heard that the movie sucks, but the book absolutely does not. That is, of course, if you like scifi movies about the future. However, this one is actually a realistic future book. It really could happen. We are a ways away from it happening, but...

review 1: I'm sure this book is very good. I'm absolutely certain of it. I liked the author's style, especially with the omniscient narrator, conscious both of the characters and the fact that he/she is telling a story. It all felt right as a re-imagining of Peter Pan and I really wanted t...

review 1: As a serious Transformers fan I did not find myself as satisfied with this book as I was with the other Transformers books I've read. Why? Because since this is from the movies era, cue the less robots more humans scene. One thing I did like however was parts of the story that we...

review 1: Thankfully this book was missing some of the poorer moments that the movie decided to subject its audience to, namely ill-timed Witwicky family moments. I liked this book well enough, I tend to enjoy novelizations as a general rule and this was no exception, but the last ten or f...

review 1: Peter David is and should be the go-to writer for X-Factor. After I quit reading the previous series many years ago, Marvel Now! added All New X-Factor to their ever growing X-Men books. Since House of M I never followed or read X-Men books, sometimes would read a volume or two a...

review 1: It seem a bit unfair to rate and review this, since it's really not a book. "Pulling up Stakes" parts one and two together form a complete novel, and this is probably not even the first half. But as for what's here -- it's a fun take on the whole vampire hunter thing that fills s...
