I love it how after defeating a bunch of enemy Stands, the gang still thinks that a diesel locomotive in the middle of the desert has just a "30% chance of being a trap" and are even relieved and feel safer once it says the destination is "Hell City" :') Yare yare daze
(Absalom and Michal's story was pretty great though, and I had a good time listening to the translating adventures) :D

Legitimately just 2 more JoJo episodes that fit right in with the rest of the canon. The Stand ideas are quite fun, and I especially liked the Absalom and Michal duo, since it's a dynamic you didn't see that much in SdC (but then again fights there had to be much shorter than this). If you just want to see more of the Crusaders, read this, just not the Italian version because dear god is that a bad translation.
The 2nd story can also be found in Jump Novel #4 with a lot more artwork, and it's all coloured.

February 20, 2013Veo improbable que vaya a conseguir esta novela. Si la consigo, veo improbable que la encuentre en italiano. Si la encuentro en italiano, veo improbable que la pueda leer de corrido. Si la leo de corrido, soy un capo y voy a demostrar que soy un digno fan de Jojo. Por el momento, veo más que improbable que se dé todo lo anterior, así que preveo que esta novelización de Stardust Crusaders quedará como to-read hasta nuevo aviso.

The low rating is for the Italian translation work.
The stories are actually quite decent. They're literally "more JoJo", and in the same vein as the main content. There's no big character introspection or original main characters, it's just the Crusaders and 2 more fights on their way to DIO. Fights that would probably fit right in with the rest of the canon events.
The Italian translation, however is very bad. I feel sorry for everyone who's read this version of the book because it's not just full of formatting errors, but also translation errors, and even some Italian errors, and, if all that weren't enough, some deleted paragraphs, and what I can only call "creative changes".
Some examples: there's instances of switching around the speaking character. If it says 花京院, you wouldn't write down Abdul; likewise, Jonathan shouldn't randomly appear and start talking. There's some wild translation mistakes such as rock->storm, wallet->HANDBASKET (I thought I had lost my marbles when I saw Polnareff randomly moaning about his lost handbasket), strange->LEVITATING. There's paragraphs and paragraphs of Jotaro's POV that got changed into a narrator's POV? Some dialogue lines are changed into thought lines and vice-versa, some are broken into 2, making conversations impossible to follow. All of the onomatopoeias are removed, as well as most of the screaming, and while I understand why you'd do this, it still changes a lot of the feel of the book. Almost all Egyptian historical stuff is misnamed (it's Pinedjem in Italian, not PaNeJeM), as are the 2 villains of the first story (Absalom and Michal don't deserve this). All of Jotaro's 'yare yare daze's got translated into the most random stuff.
There's a lot to it and honestly, reading this was a nightmare. Read the Japanese version. Or wait for a fantranslation to pop up somewhere very soon. Really. If you want to spend your 12€ on this book just buy the Japanese one. It's prettier too.

I love Jojo's bizarre adventure, it's my favourite manga and Stardust crusaders is my favourite arch. I wasn't expecting a great novel but at least something enjoyable... maybe it's about the translation, there were some clear mistakes (like confusing Joseph with Jotaro? Something like that, so annoying) but the story itself wasn't enough.
Of course amazing drawings, Araki is a genius.
