Summary: I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY RICK BERMAN!!!
Review: It's a sad day in Star Trek when one of the two best Star Trek tv shows ends(the other best show being TOS of course). And of course, we couldn't have done it any better than the Great Screw-Up of the Galaxy...Rick Berman! I couldn't believe how little coverage DS9 got when it ended. Sure, it got some, but after it ended, poof, it's gone! Now, I'm sure when Lost In Space II(for those who don't know, I'm referring to Voyager!)ends there will be talk about it for years. Anyway, this book is excellent(especially since it wasn't written by the god-awful Daffyd ab Hugh!!!). The only scenes I didn't like were the Kira-Crazy scene(but that was made excellent with the Garak and Damar chit-chat), and the Bashir & Garak goodbye. I loved what Garak said, and the whole way he acted during the scene, but then again this ending was good also. Once again, Diane Carey proves she is one of the best Trek writers. The space battles are awesome, the character writing is fabulous. It's...it's amazing!!! Before I end, I'd like to say thank you to the First Great Bird of the Galaxy = Gene Rodenberry, and also I'd especially like to thank the Second Great Bird of the Galaxy = Ira Steven Behr, for making DS9 what it was.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Time
Review: Not quite as painful as Diane Carey's "Dominion War" books, but she fails to really get into the minds of the characters as we see them on the show. Tolerable. Read only if you are a completist -- and have read almost everything else. (I remember Diane Carey being a far better author than these three adaptions show. Maybe she's just not good with DS9.)

Summary: I've read the book now, unfortunately better than the show!
Review: the novelization was actually better than the episode, because it tried to cover for the many many horrible plot holes by explaining wierd character shifts (specifically in Odo and the Female Founder). Also, it adds a few scenes which nicely flesh out the story, though an opening Kira-Garak-Damar scene is stupid because Kira is giggly and hallucinating and talking with a rat. Please.

Summary: It was a pretty good book
Review: The show showed the same thing. I thought I might be able to get some more out of reading the book, but did not. I finished it, so it must have been worth reading

Summary: Closure, at last!
Review: This book is a very good novelization of the final days of DS9, the TV series. The last few episodes went by so fast. I loved the series more than I realized. I was much more deeply invested in the characters than I ever realized. This book let you experience the final acts and decisions in an extended time frame -- the last episode of the TV show just went too fast to allow complete understanding and acceptance of its finality. This book gave extra insight into the feelings and motivations of all the charcters in their final DS9 days. I loved the book and didn't want it to end.

Summary: Perfect for the DS9 fan!
Review: This book is essentially a transcript of the final 2-hour episode... which was nice to revisit in written form. The touching goodbyes made me teary-eyed as ever. If you are like me and really miss the best Trek show, pick this up as a souvenir, you won't be sorry.

Summary: Do not read this before you see the show!!
Review: This book seems hardly more than a transcript of the actualsaid lines. It lacks deapth of it's own and tension of it's own. It'ssort of a report, not an fullgrown gripping story. Though (of course) everthing is set and ready for tension. The actions really SHOULD be a terrific read, but because of the style chosen, it is not.I suppose that, when you read this book after you've seen the last episode on TV, you'll relive that episode while reading. And that that will fill the style gaps that are disturbing me now. But that hardly qualifies this as a good book. And for those of you who are not familiar with the series: do not ever buy this book as a starter. You'll miss all necessary reference to even get through it.

Summary: "What You Leave Behind"
Review: This final episode to DS9 will be essentially two stories. First, Sisko leads the Federation in the final battle against the Dominion. Second, Sisko must face Dukat to prevent him from unleashing the Pagh Wraiths upon the galaxy. Expect an extremely exciting time with lots of action!
