Title: The king of novels about the King of Monsters
Review: As good as Godzilla Returns--Cerasini's first book in this series--was, Godzilla 2000 blows it away! He creates a globe-trotting adventure featuring many of Toho's best-known monsters, but never loses sight of the human element. The reader gets a genuine feel for what it must be like to live (and die) in a world being torn apart by giant monsters. The members of G-Force are colorful and distinct from one another, and we develop a real affection for them and the other characters in the book. We also develop a certain amount of sympathy for Godzilla and the other monsters, seeing them not as evil, but as forces of nature. It's also fun seeing characters from the last book show up as minor characters in this one. Godzilla 2000 can be read on its own, but reading the books in sequence makes for a richer, more rewarding experience in terms of characters.
