In Print: Underworld: Evolution

(click pic for larger version)

I'll just start off with this:

THE BOOK IS AWESOME. IF THE MOVIE TRANSLATES ONTO THE SCREEN AS WELL, IT'LL BE FANTASTIC!

Now the part I've been mulling over ever since I finished it, what exactly do I reveal in this post? After much consideration I've decided not to divulge much, if anything at this time. I will, however, have a "spoilers" post up soon for those who can't wait for the movie but can't be bothered picking up a book.

With that established, the review...

Greg Cox did a great job in this third written installment into the realm of UNDERWORLD. Unfortunately, a lot of the information that was "established" in Blood Enemy (Book Two) appears to be inaccurate. The book is very animated and moves along very well. It's fast paced and compelling. The book practically turns the pages for you and it's a fast read. I am a slow reader and I went through the nearly 300 pages in about two days.

The characters are lively. The descriptions are vivid.

I highly recommend this movie novelization.
