Awesome Book

Like Any other Marvel superhero this guy rocks So Does the book. This book is really good i couldn't put it down ( well i did but it got me wanting more). The thing i like about this Superhero is that he is BLIND!. That rocks. It shows you that you don't have to be perfect.

Daredevil OK to buy

Definitely buy this book if you don't want to watch the movie.This particular book/episode is based on the Motion Picture screenplay by Mark Steven Johnson that was recently released to theaters everywhere.For a screenplay rendition, this book does a good job telling the story of Daredevil and, thankfully, leaves out the steamy scenes. My only objection to the book was its ocassional bad language (the story setting is in a "rough" place).Cox did an excellent job of describing the action scenes and describing Daredevil's handicap. I thought this was an excellent screenplay book and I would like to see Cox write his own Daredevil episode for a more mature audience, that is, with a more complex plot.This book tell the story of how Daredevil came into being and why. It starts at a point in the present and flashes back to the hero's childhood. We see him blinded in an accident and learn what drives him to become a vigalante in his adulthood.The story then jumps to a more recent past that leads to the opening scene. We are introduced to his professional partner and a new romantic interest. The complexities of his childhood become interwoven with his adult life as can only happen in a book, but it is an entertaining story. The ending has a slight twist and leaves the reader with a good feeling.Put this one in your shopping cart and enjoy a good story.

A real page-turner...

While I've been a comic book nut since I was a kid, I've never been much into Daredevil. However, since the novelizations of X-Men and Spider-Man were good reads, I decided to check this one out. From what I do know about the comic, the book stays pretty true to it. Attorney Matt Murdock, blinded as a child, uses his enhanced senses to fight crime on the streets of Hell's Kitchen.Several other characters make appearances in this book, such as Wilson Fisk (the Kingpin), Bullseye, and Electra.Overall, the book, about 250 pages, took me about a day and a half to read. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I recommend it to movie nuts who can't wait for the release of the film, loyal fans of the series, or comic-in-general lovers like myself.
