I admit, my rating is colored by the fact that I LOVE this movie and its characters - but this novelization was done very well, and kept the punchiness of the dialogue from the movie intact. Of course, nothing can compare with watching it and hearing it, but the explanatory tidbits were nice. I wished there was more. Joss Whedon (screenwriter and creator of this brilliant series and movie) is an absolute genius, and this was a nice trip into a world I am always eager to revisit. If you're not familiar with the story, just watch the movie, it's worth your time even if you're not a sci-fi fan. Better yet, watch the DVD of the series - I'm betting you'll cry along with us die-hard fans that this died an untimely death after only one season.
