4.0 out of 5 stars At times corny, but overall good., Mar 11 2002

By	derek glidewell (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

"Akima's Story" is a good novel, simple and childish, but good. "Akima's Story" is a prequel to the film "Titan A.E.", and the plot centers around Akima and her friend Ishaq, both of which
reside on a human drifter colony, New Marrakech, until it is attacked by the Drej. The attack leaves Akima and Ishaq's parental guardian dead, and this motivates the two of them to buy a ship and find work. The couple easily find work transporting goods to Solbrecht, and on their first mission they find trouble. After narrowly escaping death from a criminal kingpin's goons Akima and Ishaq team up with Stith to take down Golbus and to locate acient artifacts that Ishaq's father and Sam Tucker had been hiding.

The plot is original, but doesn't seem like it took a lot of thought to develop, and the dialogue is very "childish" and corny. But I just tried to turn off my brain and enjoy it for what it was, and even though it has a lot of plot holes that didn't stay consistant with the film, I just tried to read it as if it were a totally different story, and I think that if you do the same a lot of the plot holes will not be so evident.

I feel that the people who would enjoy this novel the most are those who are fans of "Titan A.E.", for those who enjoy Science Fiction stories, and for young ones, as there is no real offensive language and almost no violence. Though fans of either of the above mentioned may feel that it's to kiddie to be taken seriously and many may want to laugh at some of the dialogue. Overall, I did enjoy "Akima's Story", and you may enjoy it as well if you keep an open mind. Thanks for reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta Read It, Aug 7 2000

By	Rebecca (Dallas, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

This was the best book I have ever read. Akima and Ishaq and Stith are the best. I recommend it a lot. Akima keeps the story going. It tells you a lot about Akima like how her her hair got short and purple,what happend to her mom and dad. You should read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exellent book 2 read..., Jul 4 2000

By A Customer

This book is honestly very well done, but u have 2 read it before u read the novel cause then you'll understand the story better... If u r wondering this book is about Akima's life before she went to work on finding the Titan or working with Korso. That is why u should read it before u read the novel. Other than that it is a really good book, and u should also read Cale's story too... You'll find some intresting parts in both stories... Have fun reading! -If u get it, which I mostly recomend, for Titan AE fans or any science fiction fans... =)
