Informative prequel story
25 May 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is really cool because it tells how Akima will become the person she is in the movie. The book is written for younger kids, so it is easy to follw, but it still keeps you interested. It is an all around great buy if you are interested in the film, it gives more insight to Akima's life. This will make the film more enjoyable because you will know the character better. There is also a book about the main character, Cale Tucker, which is also good, but "Akima's Story" has more action.

A wonderful prequal to the film.
5 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
I haven't seen the film of Titan A. E. yet, but judging by the novelization, this is an excellant original prequal novel. Set eleven years after the destruction of Earth by an alien species, the Drej, and around four years before the film, this is the background story of one of the two main characters, Akima. As a little girl, she was orphaned by the destruction of Earth, and was raised by her grandmother in a makeshift human space colony. After her grandmother's death and the colony's destruction, Akima sets out to learn how to be a pilot so she can help what is left of humanity find a new home. This novel explained a lot of Akima's background and how she came to be a pilot and help find the Titan in the movie. Highly reccomended if you are looking forward to the movie.

Great story but its better if read before the movie or novel
15 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
Ok, I really liked this book but some aprts are screwed up and I'll go into that later. This book and Cale's story are best read before you see the movie or read the movie novelezation. It gives some great background on why Akima is sort of fiesty and strays away from other people. But some parts of it are jsut not right. Now I read this book AFTER I read the novelezation. First of all, in the beggining of the book, Akima meets Korso. Nope, the novel says she dosn't meet him until years later when she is already a great pilot. Second, the novel says Akima's grabdmother started theaching her how to fly as soon as she was old enough.In this book, she dosn't start training until after her grandmother is dead. Thrid, Akima meets Stith half way through the book. In the novel, Stith is part of Korso's crew and she has never met him. Little things like this take some fun out of the book. This book dosn't have like any swearing or severe violence but in the beggining her mentor is hurt badly and the book goes into deep detail in his injuries. Its a fun read and I think most people will like it.
