Pacific Rim Uprising - Ascension

And enjoyable read. Much like a YA book, it still tells a pretty good story.

Good book. My son read it many times.

This book is better than it has the right to be.I pre-ordered this book when it was announced and was delivered when Pacific Rim: Uprising came out. I went to the movie and came out with very mixed feelings, mostly unfavorable. Because I didn't like the movie, I let this sit on my shelf for a while.I finally got around to reading it and boy am I glad I did, it tells a fantastic story that connects the future of the Pacific Rim world with the great GDT parts that I missed so much in Uprising.If you are a fan of the series, give it a shot. It's not great, but it's a fun ride. The writing style was also very fun to read, it felt like I was in a blockbuster movie myself. Give it a try! What's the worst that can happen? It's only $8.

Vapid, simplistic, boring. Story about teenagers with chips on their shoulders. Very predictable storyline.The only action is when they review how each Kaiju from the first movie was defeated. There is only one actual battle in the book, within the last 10 or so pages . It is a Jeager against humans with first-hand missle launchers who almost defeat the Jeager. This so called military organization let's new recruits talk back, not answer questions and walk all over the officers. Mako Mori is wasted and ineffectual. This book does nothing for the franchise, provides no insights, does not advance the narrative, it is a dead end. It will put you to sleep.. I was so afraid this was going to be the movie story but there is still hope . The movie novelization paperback is by a different , hopefully more experienced author. I would not recommend this book to any fan of the movie.
