Is it unfair to rate a book in the shadow of what it's based upon? In this case, I definetly think so. Even though my strong feelings for the original computer game might cloud my judgment, I still feel that this waste of paper, ink and time didn't deserve to see the light of day. Besides adulterating all the characters, both physically and psychologically, it also destroys the plot - in my opinion, the best to ever grace a computer game. It might have been saved through its own merits, maybe solid plotting, colourful characterization, smooth action or insightful writing, but it failed abysmally in all of those. An utter disgrace and a shameful blemish in the Planescape legacy, and the first book I've ever actually thrown into the garbage bin. Why did they even bother? A line-by-line transcription of the game's script would have been better than this, and better written, besides.

I played the game first and loved it. I stumbled on this book very much by accident, and I'm glad that I did.
Yes, it's somewhat lacking in terms of literary magnificence; however, it was an interesting and short read.

When you read this book after you've played the game, you'll be very disappointed since the game is a true roleplaying masterpiece while the book, although depicting some of the events occurring in the game, cannot keep up with the wealth and mistery of the Planescape environment. The book is not bad but it is too linear: you always know what happens next and that is a let down. However, to see what it is all about read the book and then play the game.
