paperbackstash's review against another edition
3.0
I didn't enjoy this one as much for some reason - felt distant from it. Hard to put my finger on why exactly. The story took some liberties to have Clark ditch Smallville and become a Metropolis runaway without the aid of a certain red rock. It's a creative attempt that doesn't fully work since you lose the small town charm and familiar faces being around so much.
There's also a small nudge of attraction for the first time from Lex to Lana, which may be foreshadowing for the awkward series storyline that could have worked if the writers didn't screw it up so badly later.
Frankly the best part of the story was Clark getting a small break from Lana and seeing other girls out there that exist while she's been standoffish with the relationship. Luna is a little too good to be true, but it still made a change.
Overall it's not bad, just kind of a distant feeling Smallville story I couldn't enjoy as much as the others.
