2.8 comprei esse livro faz um tempinho e parei no quinto capítulo quando comecei a ler. terminei ele hoje e ainda não tenho um sentimento fixo: gosto muito do anime e senti que ele seguiu bastante da cronologia da história, apesar de ser um pouco maçante para quem já viu (a história da novel não tem plot adicional). veremos.. acréscimo: os erros da falta de uma revisão séria matam muito plmds
So, I'm three chapters in at this point and I'm just going to go ahead and write this review. I doubt I'll have much cause to change it.
This book is... breathtakingly mediocre, and the more I read of it the more disappointed I get, because it could have been so much more.
Unfortunately, I can't really recommend this if you've already seen the television show, unless you fancy a book that differs only very superficially from a line-by-line retelling of ever scene in the show, exactly as it happened on screen.
I think this decision to be so unwaveringly "loyal" to the source material is what really kills this book. There was so much opportunity in writing a novel of this series to show us things that happened but couldn't get that much attention in the show, a chance to flesh out a lot of minor features and to get inside the heads of characters like Mami, Kyouko, Sayaka... maybe even Kyuubey!
...Which brings me to my second big complaint. The author has really limited themselves and the story by deciding to go tell the entire thing exclusively from Madoka's First Person perspective. The narrative has been bent to accommodate that to some extent... scenes for which she was not present are relayed to her as expository dialog and things that were originally other characters' internal thought processes are said out loud so that Madoka, and by extension, the reader, may perceive them.
The limited perspective is possibly the worst thing about the book, after all, as I think I could have born a bland retelling if I at least got the opportunity to inhabit the heads of various characters while doing it.
Some nice vignettes not present in the original have been added, such as an extended conversation between Madoka and her father, which do add flavor, but it isn't quite enough to overcome the book's problems.
In the end there's nothing really all that bad about the book itself, but there's nothing good about it either.
Eu daria 3.5 Tudo é muito expositivo. A madoka é fofinha e tal, mas dá um pouco de raiva dela as vezes. A parte narrada pela Homura é o que salva toda a história, na minha opinião.
