Babylon 5: In the Beginning (David)

Babylon 5: In the Beginning, Peter David, based on a teleplay by J. Michael Straczynski.

Very good. Not like the last novelization I read. (I haven't seen the TV movie.)

Peter David did an excellent job on this book. It read nothing like a script. It read like a story. I appreciate that. As for the story, it tied in a lot that I already knew about the Babylon 5 universe from watching the series. Good job.

Babylon 5: Book #8 - Personal Agendas

A total and complete abomination! The jacket says that Al Sarrantonio has won several awards -- he won't win any here! A 200-page book with 61 chapters??? First indication that something was wrong. Such a blatant and direct translation that he might as well included the camera angles and lighting instructions. Two saving graces: 1) 50 cents went to the Brooklyn Public Library for this purchase. 2)No one else will ever take this book out again.

Five or six years later, I'm still bitter.
