Hellboy II: The Golden Army (The Official Novelization), by Robert Greenberger
Read November 30th through December 2nd.
It's a novelization. The writing is nothing special. As far as books go, it's basically candy. But at least it's not cheese.
"How on earth can they blame me for cheese," he asked and stopped as the anchor finished her report. (p. 205)(Hellboy itself, though, is conceptual genius.)
Not much to say, really, since I already knew the story. Several of the scenes were different, however, seeing as the screenplay changed and evolved in the movie after they handed it over to this author to novelize. One such scene is the Can't Smile Without You scene, which is my favorite from the movie, and which I'm quite glad they did change from the original concept.
(After having just read Mary Daly, the concept of a hole in man's heart and of the forest god- the Elemental- took on much richer levels.)
