Considering that I've read the graphic novel version and watched the movie, it was a pretty good read. I half-knew what to expect (of course, I didn't expect the graphic novel nor the movie to be 100% faithful to the book even though the graphic novel was pretty much bang on) so I supposed it lessened the enjoyment a bit. I didn't think I would enjoy this book, I didn't plan on picking it up because I thought it was a pretty silly idea and not original at all. However, it was full of adventure, kind of like Hercules in the modern world except, of course, it's not Hercules. All in all, a pretty entertaining read but I'm not in any rush to pick up the next in the series.
