Sailor Moon the Novels: Mars Attacks (Sailor Moon 4)

Rating:
Summary: A good book
Review: Words cannot begin to describe this latest installment of the Americanized Sailor Moon novels series. Here's a handy metaphor: If this book was a pool and I jumped into it, I would hit my head because it's so shallow. First off, while Sailor Moon's attacks are the original Japanese ones, the other "scouts'" are from the DiC dub. It often gets confusing. Not to mention that Serena's last name happens to be Tsukino in these. They couldn't think of a perfectly good English name for her? Also, Ms. Sentar's (the author) work abounds with grammar mistakes and endorsements for products (mostly designer clothes. how could they afford that?). There are even several mentions of Serena's love for "Gundam Wing" and wouldn't you know it? It just happened to be airing on Cartoon Network around the time this book was released. Coincidence? I think not. Her writing lacks any depth whatsoever and I can't believe Mixx would hire a third rate (and I do mean THIRD RATE) fanfiction writer for their books. Her last fan fiction was entitled "The Wacky Adventures of Psycho Setsuna" which was at least 100 times better than this drivel. I suggest not wasting your money on this (unless you want to be amused and disgusted at the same time) and simply go read "Psycho Setsuna".
