4.0 out of 5 stars
A Good, if not Great, Quantum Leap Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quantum Leap 11: Independence (Paperback)
"Independence" is an entertaining story of Sam's leap into one of his Revolutionary War-era relatives (which _does_ follow the rules of the series, since, in the episode "The Leap Between the States,"--which took place in the Civil War-- Sam learned he can leap into his own ancestors through his bloodline. Don't ask me to explain that one.) Although the reason for Sam's attraction to his 1700s-era wife was a little cheesy, the story was still entertaining, suspenseful and well-written.

I thought it was great,

This review is from: Quantum Leap 11: Independence (Paperback)
First, a response to "A Reader". This book does, in fact, follow the canon of the television series. Don't forget the episode where Sam leaped back into his own grandfather during the Civil War. That said, I really enjoyed this book- and found it to be one of the best of the books I've read!

4.0 out of 5 stars
I've never seen the show, but I think it was good!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Quantum Leap 11: Independence (Paperback)
It's true. I've never seen the show. But, I can tell you this much: it was pretty good. The only reason I gave it four stars is that it didn't put you in the action. John Peel described the action scenes well, it's just that he told you what was happening, not showing you. For example, this sentence: "The knife wasn't well cared for, but the slightly dulled blade was still sharp enough to break the skin of his throat and start a drop of blood trickling downward," is very descriptive, but he could have included how Sam felt as the knife pricked him, or of his fear of being killed. If you overlook that, then it's a great book.
