A Lazy Day for the Editor, Nov 23 2004
By Mike D. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blade: Trinity (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a huge fan of the Blade series. I am very anxious to see the 3rd installment of it. I thought that the novelization of the movie would tide me over until the actual movie came out. I was right on that. It seems to be a very fun flick. My only problem with the book is the writing and editing. I imagine that the editor's job is to relieve the book of any grammatical errors and sloppy writing. Neither of those jobs were done. Instead of enjoying the book as much as I should have, I was constantly fighting my annoyance over such trivial mistakes. Long story short, if you're looking for a good way to precede the movie it's worth picking up, but don't expect too much from the writing. The movie comes out Dec. 8th so hopefully everyone will see it.

Blade: Trinity what it should have been, Dec 30 2004
By Alien Warrior Woman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blade: Trinity (Mass Market Paperback)
First of all no one seems to have stayed past the end credits of the movie, because if they had they would have seen Blade alive and well and driving his car! The body at the end of the film was Dracula/Drake. He changed himself to let Blade go on fighting because he thought Blade, unlike the other vampires even, had honor.
My complaints with the film were scenes mimicing encounters with Deaon Frost from the first film. Deacon kidnaps a little girl to use as a hostage and later throws her into traffic, Dracula kidnaps a baby and later throws it off a roof, both scenes forcing Blade to choose saving the hostage over killing the vampire. Worst of all was to resurrect the consumate vampire and then not do anything with him. Plus, the Nightstalkers, which was originally a comicbook series had nothing to do with this story.
As for the book, as with the first Blade movie the story is based on an earlier script not the shooting script and gives considerably more details than the film, which make it worth buying.

A Stake in the Heart...After Tea, Jan 31 2005
By Christopher R. Yates "Chris" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blade: Trinity (Mass Market Paperback)
For a book north of 400 pages, "Blade: Trinity" was a very quick read. That is a compliment. With that many pages I would have expected the story to get bogged down and/or lose stride here and there. Instead, the author's pacing was fantastic. I was tossed from one intense scene to the next. At certain points in the action, I really could not put the book down.
I read "Blade: Trinity" immediately after reading the only other novelization from this trilogy of movies; "Blade." The same guy wrote both scripts so I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that the novels linked nicely. Interestingly, although "Blade: Trinity" made many accurate references to the first movie and book, any reference to Blade's romantic interest from the first movie is almost consciously excised from this third installment.
One tiny peeve about the "Blade: Trinity" novel: despite the American cast, set and context of the Blade story, the British author of this book seems to have deliberately peppered the text with English cultural references. In books starring James Bond, Modesty Blaise or Dr. Who, passing references to eating a "cucumber sandwich," making a "flying rugby tackle," or Peter Cushing as Dracula make sense. However identical references in "Blade: Trinity" were out of place and distracting. Merely "sandwich," "flying tackle" and Bela Lugosi would have sufficed for any culture. The worst of these references is when the author describes a character as an "eighteen-stone" vampire. An average American reader does not have a clue what "eighteen-stone" means (it is 252 pounds for any curious Americans).
Notwithstanding, "Blade: Trinity" was fun reading. Now I might just catch the movie...
