The Dark Knight Rises novelization was really good. I would recommend it because it is a great tale of redemption and bravery - how a man who was on top of the world falls to the bottom and rises up from the ashes. This book is best suited for Batman fans, but is still a great tale on its own. ...
That's how a novelization should be written! Greg Cox doesn't add any new scenes that weren't in the movie itself but he lets the reader peek at the characters' thoughts and emotions.

Ah, how well I remember the 1990s -- neon colored plastic pants, frizzy hair, and that gang of genetically engineered supermen starting World War III in a bid to gain total command over Earth and institute order out of chaos.....no? Star Trek's canon ran into a bit of a problem as it aged, as in...
