Summary: Why did they even bother?
Comment: The worst movie novelizations that I have read, and I have read alot. It didn't stay true to the movie screenplay. There was added scenes that were not in the movie. I got the book to read the movie (sorta' speek.)
Overall: Don't bother!
Rating: 4
Summary: After all, it is only a screenplay-based novel...
Comment: Reviews are hard to write, so I'll make it short, sweet, and to-the-point.
Daredevil is a good book for what it is: A screenplay-based novel. I wouldn't put it at the top of my list for books, but I wouldn't put it at the bottom either.
This novel has more than the screenplay written. Daredevil has a sub-story which leads to the end of The Kingpin's assisstant.
For anyone that doesn't want to see the movie, but is interested in what the story of the movie is, I reccommend it. If you have seen the movie and interested in how the author makes it into his own, I reccommend it. But, for anyone who is thinking about picking it up for a good read, I beyond all, DO NOT reccommend it.

Summary: Disgrace to the Term "Movie Novelization"
Comment: All I have to say, is thank the lord that Mark Steven Johnson can film much better than he can write. The writer of this novel was also the writer/director of the feature film which this is based.
I am a comic collector. Plain and simple. And it gives me joy when I see a comic make it to the big screen. And when one does, I buy three things: The official movie poster, the novelization, and the movie on DVD when it is available. And this is one of the few times I've wanted to take that novelization back.
The movie was great. Almost fantastic. I would defenitely have to say that the portrayal in the movie, the overall tone, made Daredevil one of the best movies of the year. But this book was horrible. It lacked detail, and proper description to create imagery, to create the movie in the readers mind. And that made the book horrible. Now, not everyone has the ability to describe something like Tolkien, but the settings were poorly described. Basically the extent of description in this book goes "the dark street. The tall man." Johnson's depiction of the film in writing is horrible, and definitely not worth the money.
