Human Target: Chance Meetings by Peter Milligan

3.0

It was ok. The whole thing with Emerald was a little ridiculous and a guy who falls in love with every wife for every man he impersonates is a moron to keep doing it, but it wasn't bad. I've certainly read worse. I've definitley read better. I can't recommend the book and I prefer the show. Which is ironic because other then the name Christopher Chance, I found no similarities to the show. In the book, this guy is like Clay Face from Batman- he becomes these guys he impersonates, down to the accent, down to their emotions. Nevermind the height differential, apparently we're supposed to imagine he hunches over really well. In the show, he just plays 'security guard' which isn't nearly as interesting but also helps avoid some psychological pits. Cause book Chance is a hot hot mess in need of electroshock. TV Chance is just an adrenaline junkie who doesn't care if he dies. And TV Chance has Chi McBride who makes anything better. Book Chance could've used Chi McBride. Chi McBride and anti-depressants.
