Book Description
Official tie-in novel to the TV phenomenon Heroes
Product Description
Hiro Nakamura possesses the remarkable power to control time. And like his uniquely blessed comrades, he's on a mission for the good of humankind. But another challenge awaits him: saving the love of his life from an unspeakable death.
Charlene "Charlie" Andrews is the big hearted, small-town beauty whose sunny smile and sweet soul have knocked the shy Hiro head over heels. But when Charlie's young life is snuffed out by a grisly serial killer, their budding romance is brutally cut short. Or is it?
In this original novel based on the TV phenomenon Heroes, Hiro steps centre stage on a deeply personal quest that will test the limits of his gift, the depth of his love, and the ultimate strength of his will. Thanks to his astounding newfound skill, Hiro has the means to do what no tragedy-stricken lover in history ever could - turn back time. He vows to deliver Charlie from the evil poised to claim her. He will be her hero.

This book starts off really good but the story just falls away in the second half of the book and you feel short changed by the end of it. I may be doing the author an injustice here but in my opinion it seems to have been hastily written. I suspect the reason for this, as is the case with most TV tie ins, is that the book was rushed out to cash in on the shows popularity when a better story could have been produced if the author was given longer to write it. Still, I think fans may want to read this one as it does have some good moments and compliments the show quite well.

Heroes is an amazing T.V series, unfortunatly Saving Charlie isn't. Firstly you really have to watch the T.V series in order to understand this book. Even though it helps the reader to understand what is going on, it isn't enough decription. Secondly if you have seen the T.V series you know the ending and about 1/8 of the book. When I got this book I couldn't wait to read it, and i'm a pretty fast reader and 350 pages shouldn't take to long. The book actualy took me three months to get through. Why? beacause this is not an action adventure book. The most action that happens is folding paper (I'm not joking). You get this expecting it to be superpowers and fighting crime. Not a slow love story which makes you forget the book says HEROES on the front.
If you like romance storys and Heroes then this is the book for you, but if you like more fast paced stuff, then stay away.

I couldn't put this down - I read it over a couple of days. Although not the best written book ever - in fact sometimes it becomes downright cheesy - Heroes: Saving Charlie is a great read to help fill the gap until the new series of Heroes arrives.
It does give an insight into Hiro's life before he discovered his powers - and expands on the relationship he had as a boy and as a teenager with his father and his sister, without getting too melancholy or gritty.
It is written with sufficient pace to keep the reader interested, and I could visualise the situations as I read them.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. If you are a fan of the TV Series, you can't go far wrong.
I hope there are to be more of the same with other characters.
