Summary: Intelligently written
Review: Ok, since HK got the first review...I get the 2nd!
I actually bought the book for my TMNT collection, and found myself enjoying it! I'm in my 30s, sure it's a kid's level book but it was written well, story made good sense, and I think TMNT fans will enjoy it.
There's a few pages of color artwork as well. The style is original, not a copy of any other style or a hashing of screencaptures, which is impossible cause this isn't a novelisation of an episode. It's an original story.
And yes, its is a little more mature than you'd xpect, like HK says.
Enjoy!

Summary: Shadows Over Chinatown by Steve Murphy
Review: Shadows Over Chinatown may have been written for kids, but the subject matter is a bit more mature than I would have expected (references to alcohol, implied swearing, death). However, I don't think it's too grown up for the 9-12yrs age group, with a little parental discretion.
The book is, overall, really well-written. I discovered a couple of awkward type-os, but I guess that's to be expected in any book. The sentence structure and choice of words is intelligent enough that older children won't feel silly reading it, giving the book that much more range in its readership.
Even adult TMNT fans will get a kick out of this one, and I should know. At 21 years of age, I still found this book very entertaining, and quite hard to put down.
Overall: It rocks!
