Probably the only good thing about this book is that it delves more into the Drej and how their culture works and that they're matriarchal (kind of like clown fish). It wasn't the most compelling storyline but there's not a lot to work with.

I honestly think that Perry looked at the film, saw the plot holes, pitched some ideas on how to fix them, and got shot down, so he just tried to explain them away and failed on that too. This one is just as poorly edited in the other books and comes off as a very cheap, shoddy product with plot holes of its own. Good thing they marketed this to, I guess, young children, who might not notice.

It's not an enjoyable book and it didn't add much to the experience of the film, but it does throw in a few details that might make it worth your while. ( )

Normally, I site the book as being a better piece than a movie. This is the first book that I can honestly say the movie got the better angle. The characters in the movie feel more to the point, the book tries to add thoughts that confuse the reader. The added scenes don't always increase a reader's experience with the characters, plus the overlap gets confusing at times. The movie I rate a 3, the book gets a 2.5... ( )
