I liked the first book and look forward to Book 3: however, this just didn't satisfy me as a reader or comic fan. There's been a lot said about the typos and missing words: it happens a lot through out the book. The story, however, was too drawn out in some areas and didn't explain enough in some. One thing that really bothered me was the author describing Malovio's ring being vulnerable to wood; it should only have been vulnerable to "yellow" if it was a Corp. ring. The book's jacket cover would have you believe that Hal Jordan is a significant part of the book, but he only appears for the briefest time. I hope there is more depth in the third installment.

Acceptable story and retelling of Alan Scott's origin. Not good, but acceptable. What makes this a 1 star review is the number of typos. I think a spellchecker was used on this book, but there are wrong words galore, such as 'duel' for 'dual', and a few sentence that just make no sense. No competent proofreader ever went over this book.

I would call this first rate fan fiction- but I'm mad I paid $22 for it. The cover was nice though.

Very detailed origins of Alan Scott, the first Green Lantern and a forgotten foe that fought Hal Jordan once in the old ACTION COMICS WEEKLY (#632-635): Lord Malvolio. Excellent characteraztion and plot make this a very good book for some great light reading. I highly recommend it to all fans of GL!
