Customer Reviews

Team Rocket's Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Prepare For Trouble, I liked the part where James of Team Rocket was partly turned away and looking over his shoulder.

Team Rocket aren't evil...!

They are just robbers just like those on our streets today, trying to make a bit of money. Yet these people aren't branded evil!If I were them, I would just travel to a place where they know Pokemon are rare and just normally capture one.Secondly, they should evolve their Meowth into Persian!It's a nice book which gives insight into the Team, trying to shake off the stereotypical image of them and the biased image painted by Ash and co. Yeah, he is a brat, but if he wants T.R. to leave him alone, why can't he just catch a wild Pikachu to give them?

Different

I am not a Team Rocket fan but I find thier point of view rather interesting. This is a good book because for once you get there point of view but if all the books had team rockets point of view this would not be 5 star material. It's 5 star material because it's different, not just the same old thing. The story itself is not that good, but it's still good enough for a score of 50 out of 10. 49 of those points were for being different. 1 was for the story.

Team Rocket fan this is for you!

As a Team Rocket fan I am mostly satisfied of the fact that there is only a little bit of "the annoying little brat" everyone knows as Ash.However this book at times sort of humiliates Team Rocket.Despite that fact this is a huge improvement to Team Rocket Blasts Off.This is a cute book which tells a story about how even though Team Rocket always fails but they succed with thier frendship.I won't give away the whole story, but if you want to hear the rest of it you have to read the book!I hope in the next episode or in the future Team Rocket will succed in catching Pikachu.

A big improvement over the previous Rocket-centric book

As an avid Team Rocket fan, I just had to read this book, which is a novelization of "Ignorance is Blissey" (one of my all-time favorite Pokemon episodes). I was seriously disappointed by Ms. West's portrayal of Team Rocket in her previous Rocket-centric story, but this book is a drastic improvement over "Team Rocket Blasts Off!" Even though Ms. West is still rather unfair to Team Rocket in this new book, and there are a few out of character moments, it still turned out to be a great story, showing that Jessie, James, and Meowth truly care about each other and that they'd do anything to help a friend in need. The only real criticism I have is that the events of the story have absolutely no correlation to the events on the show -- everything is chronologically out of order, and the story totally overlooks TR's role in the pre-"Ignorance is Blissey" episodes of the Johto Journeys. Nevertheless, the book's message about success and friendship is an excellent one, which far outshines the glaring canonical inconsistencies. The book also contains some seriously gorgeous illustrations of Team Rocket. On the whole, this is a good book, and I recommend it for all Team Rocket fans and Pokemon fans in general. ^_^
