Disappointing story; inconsistent with the series; and the narrative gimmick didn't work for me.
I was almost hesitant to read this one... Book is an incredible character and pondering his back story is sort of a natural part of my life in the fandom. Now that it's resolved for me (yes, very late in the game. I told you I was hesitant), I find my own versions were a bit more complex. I liked some of the smaller stories, and I liked the backwards story-telling, but the actual resolution/beginning left me really wishing this could have been an episode in the tv series. It could have packed a lot more punch.
This is just a short graphic novel. I've wanted to read it for awhile, but the first edition went out of print when I tried to buy it and then I ended up forgetting about it.
A friend of mine got it from the library and let me borrow it from him before he read it.
I always wanted to know the deal with Book, and one of the most frustrating parts of the movie was they didn't explore that at all.
This book is a bit of a mixed bag. The story and art is good. I liked the way they transitioned back to different times of Book's life.
However it was very short, and while it confirmed some things I suspected, it mostly added to my questions rather than answering them. I would have liked some kind of short video format, or a novella to the graphic novel simply to get a more detailed back story.
Worth checking out if you're a firefly fan though.
