Title: Extra stuff in the beginning and the end with the core story (middle) being overrated.
Review: I got this trade paper back because I have heard a lot about this story over the years and though I should read it before the animated movie based off of it came out.The trade starts with a story that while interesting on its own has nothing to do with the core store. After the core story is over there are a couple "short story" pages with some team up stuff that also has nothing to do with the core story.The Tower of Babel story itself felt rushed and not well thought out. Part of this could be because I knew the premise of the plot before I started, but it doesn't excuse the plot holes (mentioned in other reviews).I'd gladly give the Tower of Babel story itself a 3 star (although it be a low 3 star), but the fact that the compilation also had a lot of extra stuff just to fill out the book seems wasteful to me in a lot of ways. So it gets a 2 star rating.
Is the review positive or negative?
