I just finished reading the Novelisation of in the Beginning..and I must say I'm gravely dissapointed. Setting up the novel the way it is with having Londo tell the story and telling everything we see in 2278 as Londo talking in the present form just doesn't work. It just seems stupid somehow. Also, in the story, so much of it lets me to wonder how the hell Londo would know, how the hell he would remember the dialogue word for word if he also just got it second hand and so on and so on. I think Peter David should have skipped the whole part with the future and just Tell the Story of the Earth Minbari War in 3rd person.
I did however enjoy some of the input that was made, diaglogues and meetings that don't happen in the movie, like Sheridan's trip home. Plus, I loved finding out that Sheridan's family resides in my very own hometime of Boulder, Colorado /forums/images/icons/cool.gif Also if I don't live there at the moment I might eventually end up mooving back there someday..hell..for all that I know I could be Sheridan's great-great-whatever-grandfather..I do after all have the habbit of saying "cool" /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
What about the other 2 Novelisations? Are they any good -- do they give insights to things we do not see in the movie itself the way the Novelisation of In the Beginning does?
