An entertaining childrens book. 10 year old me would have loved it.
A genuinely not terrible book (especially considering the other stinkers in this series), but I like them a lot more then they’re garbage.
Holy mackerel this was a dumpster fire. It was pretty great when I was 8 or 9 but oh my god was it just terrible.
Of course if you think I won't read the Ninja Gaiden Worlds of Power book, you are wrong.

There's no reason to ever read this book or any other in the Worlds of Power series. This series features several novelizations of video games by somebody who neither played the game or is an author. In this book, everything from the original game has been changed, mangled to fit some half-baked story that doesn't make much sense. To give you a little taste, Snake's name is changed to "Justin Hailey."
To be fair, these books, Metal Gear included, are all based off NES games which aren't exactly none for rich, detailed stories and engrossing characters. But the book should at least stick with what's in the game, not disregard it entirely to make up its own plot. All of these books use the name of whatever game they're aping solely to bring attention to itself.
This particular book was actually written by Alexander Frost, a wholly unremarkable author. But the mastermind of the Worlds of Power series is F.X. Nine, real name Seth Godin. Godin is the creator of Yoyodyne and Squidoo, who's since turned into a writer of terrible self-help books about becoming rich. That should tell you all you need to know about the quality of both this book and the Worlds of Power series overall.
