Title: Simply awful...
Product review: The second star is only for the effort made with respect to backstory on some of the characters. Additionally, this adaptation includes many of the scenes cut from the movie. Nice, but it's not enough to make the time spent reading this book worth it.Efforts aside, the result is awful. The battle of the crew holding the line against the Reavers was cringe-worthy to the level in which it misses the point, and it evokes no urgency or emotion whatsoever. Some characterization is so bad as to be insulting, Zoe's and Jayne's particularly. I've read better character analysis in fanfic.I'm a huge fan of the series, the movie and Wheadon, and I feel this book does a disservice to them all. Get the Official Visual Companion instead.
