The actual writing is merely..adequate. I mean as I said, you can't expect to have your mind blown with lyrical prose in one of these novelizations, but sometimes it does feel a bit too sloppy.

Graeme's Fantasy Book Review | 2 Aug 2012
...I liked the way that Cox takes time to give us a little more insight into each character. Little things like that make this book more than just a ‘book of the film’.

Cox doesn’t merely do justice to adapting the film; he seizes the opportunity to enhance its story with colorful language and additional characters.
