I'm happy to say this book is finally over....It's been ages since a book has actually put me to sleep (twice)!! lol
I bought this book about 12 years ago when I was a primary school student at the time I wasn't very big into read and I thought this would help kick start it. No matter what I did I never finished this book..I must of read the first handful of chapters over and over but I'd always end up losing interest.
I think now that I've finished the book I can see why it kept putting me off.
- I think I bought this book when I was to young.
- Now that I'm older I think this book is to childish. However, I am an avid STH comic reader.
- I think this book would have been much better in comic form rather than novel.
Martin Adams appears to be British and this shows up in the style of writing. Personally, I don't believe he sure have used british slang in this book..On top of that Sonic and the freedom fighters are FAR from being British.
He over used the word 'egg' when Robotnic spoke or when his robots spoke to him. Some words it was kind of funny to see the word 'egg' put in place but in others it felt like a far strech and kind of irritating.
Also Sonic "apparently" knows how soon the novel is going to end so all the action had better hurry up. This was pointed out twice in the book. Maybe as a kid I would have laughed but as a young adult I find that it wrecks the pace of the book. He's fictional of course he has no idea.
The best part of the book came right near the end (won't give anything away..It's just the use of words).
"Sonic use yer spanner, me old cock sparrer, and unwinds its nuts."
Hahahaha...*ahem*...Sorry.

This was considerably more entertaining than it had any right to be. Robotnik has built a castle and is filming a horror movie to satisfy his own ego. Of course this is just a setup to get Sonic and Tails to come and investigate his activities with the main goal being to lure our heroes into Robotnik's trap. The book has a lot of fun playing with the cliches of horror and creates some great moments like when Sonic blasts through some zombie animals thinking their badniks only to be showered in viscera. We even get a full-blown reference to Hellraiser which must have gone over the heads of a lot of the audience this book is aimed at. Wonderfully self-referential and self-aware, Sonic in Castle Robotnik is actually a fun little read for fans of Sonic, especially the British canon for the character.
