I’m in love with what I just read!
Yes, some details about Sam and Dean were different from Supernatural but I guess a book based on a tv show can’t be 100% accurate and perfect and the details are really small ones so that’s okay.
What I really loved is how Dean was protecting Sam. Because yeah Dean is protecting Sam. But the author still showed that Sam himself protected Dean. I enjoyed how both brothers are protecting each other in their own way.
I think the different pov (still 3rd person pov) are useful and were well-used and well-written. I fully understood what was going on in the story thanks to that so they were important for me. In a tv show we can see what’s going on but in a book we need some descriptions to understand so it was really useful! I guess with only Sam and Dean’s pov we wouldn’t have understood everything.
The annoying point was the excessive mention of John Winchester. I mean, we can mention him and explain who he is if there’s people reading the book without watching the show but even for them I think mentioning him only one time would’ve been enough.
Otherwise I really liked the story!
I love how Bobby was introduced and how Dean’s fear of airplane was still used. I also really liked how the exorcism was written. By writing the whole exorcism we can definitely imagine how the demon reacts and when, just like when we’re watching the show (:
I think the book can’t be a perfect reproduction of the tv show so I don’t have high expectations. For me the story was well-written and I really like to be able to read a physical book about Sam and Dean and not only watching them.
