[Jay DeMoir · Rating 4 out of 5]

definitely more fleshed out than the movie.

[PurplyCookie · Rating 5 out of 5]

A better fleshed out version than the movie it was based on--this book does not scrimp on action scenes. I like how the book portrayed Elektra as cold and never wants to get close with someone since she doesn't want to hurt them our herself. There are additional action sequences as well that for brevity was not included in the movie.

After watching CinemaSins, the same "mistakes" are even copied into the book! But I do understand the movie much better now. And thanks for using "church quiet" (p. 143) - I haven't heard it before in my life.

Ada satu adegan yang berlokasi di Pulau Komodo.

Sudah lama sekali tidak nonton film ini, jadi aku sama sekali tidak ingat apakah di versi filmnya juga ada komodonya. Terakhir melihat komodo di film impor ya di Skyfall-nya Mr. Bond.

Jadi, tentu saja ada guide bernama Budi. Dan ada beberapa kosa kata Indonesia yang numpang lewat, seperti buaja darat (benar, pakai ejaan lama, bukan aku yang salah ketik), uang (sudah pasti), sekarang, mungil, jahat, dan bantu.

Mungkin adegan Budi di novel ini bakal masuk sebagai bahan bacaan di buku pelajaran SD:
Budi menodong turis.
Budi dimakan komodo.

Tolong ambil hikmahnya, anak-anak. Jangan nodong turis terlalu dekat dengan komodo, apalagi kalau turisnya Tattoo, salah satu pembunuh dari organisasi The Hand yang dikhianati Elektra.

Some decent writing but not much of story. After the events of Daredevil one can but wonder how Elektra is alive and more importantly what she's doing. Not something I recommend but the writer of the book certainly sets up a good level of insight into the minds of the characters that the film's stars didn't bring. An okay story but not a great one. C-.
