Title: Too much, too quick, too sloppy
Review: As a bigtime Babylon 5 fan, I was eagerly awaiting this book. Guess I shouldn't be surprised that it feel victim to Sturgeon's law, that 90% of all media SF is crud.The major problem with the book is that it hops through time, with no consideration towards the readers. It would be nice to be told the date, instead of just having a character suddenly get really old.Major events are skipped over, characters switch names so as to make it impossible to keep track of them. There's little description, so keeping minor characters set is next to impossible. Major characters are just hard to keep track of. I mean, who the hell can keep track when you've got Blodo and Larry and Ms. Alexander and Monkey and Mick Foley and Dude Love alll over the place.Put basically, it staggers like an epilectic who just suffered a severe electric shock. I look forward to B5 books that maintain the great storytelling quality that the show is renowned for. I just won't hold my breath.
Is the review positive or negative?
