Book Reviews of Skin Game (Dark Angel)
Book Review: Max disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
Because I needed a Dark Angel fix, I crossed my fingers, hoped for the best and bought the two books. I was very, very disappointed. I felt as though this book (and the other) were nothing more than authorized fan-fiction rather than a professionally written story involving my beloved characters.
It didn't help that the author either overlooked or completely ignored a detail only to use it in the plot here and there (Logan did not require the exo-suit. He regained the use of his legs thanks to Joshua's infusion and still used the exo-skeleton to enhance his ability as Phil did). Also, the descriptions and back-story were too overt, jarring you from the flow of the story.
Although the story was interesting, it lacked depth and since the show's episodes were deep and rich with side stories and info, you would think that a book would have that and more.
Overall, if you're looking for the last two episodes of the series to give closure, don't spend your money. Either borrow this book from your local library or read fan-fic from a fan-fiction site. This way the disappointment won't be followed by resentment for spending money on it!
Book Review: Not too shabby...
Summary: 4 Stars
This book picks up where the tv show left off. Again the author makes it seem just like the show and revealed some plots and answered some questions that season 3 would have elaborated on. I found it some what like silence of the lambs the more I read but in the end of the book you see why it was so. I again recommend this book to any dark angel fan who was disappointed not to get a season 3.Book Review: Skin Game Dark Angel

Great book as a big fan of the show this fit in, though would still be a good book on it's own.Book Review: Super Reader
Summary: 4 Stars
One of Manticore's less successful experiments, and a nice joke 'Chameleon Boy', has become a serial killer. Evil and twisted Ames White ends up behind it. The Freak Nation has to investigate the case before the army moves in on them, after White's media manipulation.
Thanks to a decent cop, and two ex-subordinates of White's who dislike him about as much as everybody else, more, in their cases, as he was trying to get them bumped off--Max manages to work it out, but not without casualties and kidnappings.
All in all, a decent handling of the characters, again.
Book Review: Terrific!
