First of all, I'm a huge fan of all of Joss Whedon's work; especially the TV series "Firefly" and its motion picture finale "Serenity". I saw "Serenity" three times at the theater; and have watched it multiple times on DVD. So, I was really looking forward to reading the novelization of the movie.I was hugely disappointed. Keith DeCandido's writing is so bad that I wasn't able to get very far into the book before I gave up in disgust and tossed it aside.Trust me, you're better off just sticking with the "Serenity" DVD. Or, if you want to READ "Serenity", then you should get "Serenity: The Official Visual Companion" which contains the entire shooting script for the movie.Don't waste your money on this second-rate novelization.
