Excellent book by Popoff

Revisado: 03-14-24

Very entertaining read about the classic years. Narrator thinks he's Batman but the material rises above.

Horrible

Revisado: 10-01-23

Reads like a bad Harlequin romance, narrated like reading from a little girl's diary from an uninteresting character. Hellboy himself is sidelined as a group character. Worst of all are the performances by Sofia Balerio performed by Carolla Parmejano and Inspector Barbosa performed by Sebastian Zancanaro. In an attempt for realistic nationalities, the performances are wooden and irritating. The only good element is the performance of Hellboy himself, as close to Ron Perlman as we'll get. Unfortunately the written material is plagued with filler language, unnecessary conversations and plot holes that make a weak story an irritating slog. As a Hellboy fan, irs a huge disappointment.

Movie novel bores

Revisado: 11-09-22

Considering this was never a book originally, the story reads like what it is: a boring, poorly written story that tries to cyphon what made The Exorcist such a great read--but fails in comparison. Characters jump in and out of logical reactions without explanation. Readers care very little for anyone in the story so any threat throughout contains no menace or any sense of urgency. As I listened, it felt like I was hearing a bad TV script from that time period. It would better instead to enjoy The Exorcist without suffering through the weak and exploitive imitation.

Excellent read by the author

Revisado: 11-01-22

Read by the author in tones and voices meant to convey his exact intentions and performances from his book. Contains both darkness and levity, I found this to be an excellent read, only enhanced by the equally excellent movie version. Highly recommended.

Utter Crap

Revisado: 10-23-22

Hard to get through the overdramatic and weak performances; annoyingly long-overly loud-amateur musical score, despite a strong Joe Hill story. Too much additional dialog by poor writing not written by Hill takes you out of the story while trying to add to adapt what should have stayed a perfect comic book. It results in a hard to fathom annoying melodrama which can be blamed on the unnecessary production. Even as a free product. it was extremely hard to stick with. Not worth the time needed to slog through it. Stick with the comic book.

Dio rocks and is missed

Revisado: 08-08-22

Dio's autobiography is well written and narrated. Filled with a vibrant history, I was highly entertained. I hope the estate continues his tails as this books ends at 1986. Dio leaves us hungry for more.

We Got the Best from Paul

Revisado: 12-06-21

Paul was my first hero after Godzilla and Spider-man. The music of KISS gave me my first band, my first concert and turned me into a performing songwriter musician. This book is the best autobiography of the original four. At times glorious, at others depressing to discover some of the downsides they experienced. It was a grand trip down memory lane with plenty of surprises, Easter eggs and modern day appreciation of my biggest musical influence. Thanks Paul. Well done.
