<\/p>\n

This is an addendum of sorts to my last book review. Really, though, it’s not even going to be a review. <\/p>\n

I have nothing to say about Frank Miller’s final Sin City entry, Hell and Back.<\/a><\/em> I didn’t like it. I didn’t like the story. Didn’t like the writing. Didn’t like the artwork. <\/p>\n

Just didn’t like it. <\/p>\n

I wish I had more to say about this book, but I really have nothing else I want<\/em> to say. My response was decisive and persistent the entire time I read this book; to be honest, I actually dreaded this particular review because of my keen lack of interest or investment. I suppose it’s my fault for picking up the final volume in the series without having read any of the others. However, I also didn’t like the movie based on three other volumes from the series. I haven’t seen the film since it was at the theater, so I don’t remember specifics of why I didn’t like it. Of course, this speaks volumes, in my mind at least. If I can’t remember anything about it other than it left a lingering tang of disinterest on my palate, it’s obviously not going to be high on my list of re-watches. <\/p>\n

Subsequently, this book isn’t going to be high on my list of re-reads. I’m also not in any particular hurry to track down any other volumes from the series. I can’t say I’m the least bit surprised by my reaction to this novel. I remember the hype surrounding Miller’s saga. In fact, this might be an early example of my hype deflector going into overload. The more I heard, the more marketing I witnessed, the more raging fanboy glee I watched, the less interested I became in this series. I’m sure there are earlier instances of simliar responses from me, but I can’t think of them right now. <\/p>\n
