Pacific Rim: The Official Movie Novelization
by Alex Irvine
UPDATE 3/23/15: An updated version of this review can be found on my blog
I enjoyed everything about this book except for the ending.
Having read the book before seeing the movie in theaters, I was pleased with the details included in the novelization. This book offers a clear view of the world in Pacific Rim and the characters that live therein. While it doesn't deviate from the main script of the movie, this book does give you a little bit of the history and a look into each character's minds.
Now, sadly, for what I didn't like about this novel...
The story told in Pacific Rim does not need to use a romantic relationship as a crutch, a theme which is so often found in movies these days. Pacific Rim is SO much more than romance, you have characters who are dealing with a world that no longer supports them and their endeavors to protect it; characters who are fighting to protect the family they created; and characters who don't know anything but a world ruled by the fear of a Kaiju attack.

While the movie's ending was, in my opinion, perfect, the book ends with Raleigh and Mako kissing.The story told in Pacific Rim does not need to use a romantic relationship as a crutch, a theme which is so often found in movies these days.
