The book is WAY more descriptive than the game which made it really interesting to read. I followed the plot MUCH better when I read it rather than when I'm playing because your always focused on the mission rather than the story and the way Oliver Bowden describes everything really brings the story to life.
This is a must read to all the AC fans.

What got me initially into my infinite love for Venice and its incredible night canal mist vibes that sparked an universe long tie between us
non so se mi è toccata una versione buggata dell ebook,
se è scritto con i piedi
o se è stato tradotto con google traslator....
ma è veramente impossibile leggerlo!!
i pensierini di "io speriamo che me la cavo" sono prosa in confronto
(unico libro non finito degli ultimi 2 anni)

If you like Assassin's Creed, the game series, don't even touch the books. Better yet, if you like to read, don't touch these books either. They are just the scenarios of the AC games, with absolutely no input nor creativity, nor depth from the author.
And don't get me wrong, I love the game it is written after. AC2 is one of the best AC games out there (the best being AC2 Brotherhood) - and I expected that a book would contain something other than a boring transcript of the game content. I'm still shocked that someone can sell such a thing in the book format.
So, you have this amazing character, Ezio Auditore. You have other amazing characters that really make the game a very fun one to play - to watch the story to. None of this transpires into the book - Ezio becomes bland and boring, just like everyone else. Everyone says something, performs a task or another, solve quests. The collection of the codex doesn't make sense - as a game quest it makes perfect sense, the search for the codex is a grinding task that will help you make some in-game currency and make you explore the universe. However, in the retelling of Bowden it's just that. „Here's a codex page! Awesome! Let's have Leonardo decipher that!”. How did they know it's a codex page? It could be any other page from any other book, why do they all know it's an important thing but they scatter it around the world?
As I said, some things that make more or less sense in-game don't in the book. You have things like: „And he picked up 5 more feathers by the end of the day” which is plain stupid, or, if you want to see character development, you have somewhere at the end of the book a chapter that starts with: „Ezio, now a man in his forties, blablabla”.
Now, seriously, this is utter crap - it's the franchise owners beating money out of the dead horse. And, funny enough, the horse is not dead. I bet this is worse than even the worse fan-fiction imaginable. It's a ten-year-old's view on the game he just played. And it sucks. Big time.

Perhaps my favourite of all the Assassin’s Creed games. This is the introduction of Ezio Auditore into the Order of the Assassins & gives so much background that you wouldn’t get while playing the video game.
