5.0 out of 5 stars TV or Book?, 29 Nov 2003
By D. Ashworth "Blue Eyed Wolf" (Milton Keynes, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I saw that you could read CSI Miami aswel as watching it I was slightly worried that the book was not going to live up to the tv programme. I was wrong! I even felt like I watching an episode of the programme, it was so well written. I would say to anyone that is a fan of CSI, CSI Miami and the other CSI books they should read this book. If you don't you will be missing out. And for all those that only know of CSI and have not come across CSI Miami don't worry, there is a bit of Los Vegas in the book to gently introduce you into it all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Florida Getaway, 7 Aug 2007
By KM (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Florida Getaway (CSI: Miami) (Paperback)
'Florida Getway' is the first book in the C.S.I: Miami written series, featuring Horatio Caine and his team of CSIs - Alexx, Calleigh, Eric and Speedle. The story begins in Las Vegas where the Vegas CSIs are trying to get enough evidence together to pin a murder on big-time hotel owner Thomas Lessor, but in the meantime Lessor goes over to Florida and Grissom passes on the case to Horatio. Only minutes after Lessor arrives in Florida there are two more murders and from the evidence it looks like it could be linked to the mob.

For a TV novelisation, Max Allan Collins does a decent job of recreating the characters from the show, giving them their usual characteristics and also keeps the fast-paced and suspense-filled style of the show. The dialogue is just as familiar and witty (including H's corny one-liners) and makes reading it just as enjoyable as watching it. Florida Getaway is very exciting and filled with lots of plot twists (even though one or two are a little predictable) and opening up the story with the characters from the Vegas CSI series is a great way of introducing the (then-new) series to the reader, making everything seem a little more familiar. Overall this is a great spin-off from the show and a book that any fan of the TV show should enjoy. At 275 pages it's a fairly quick and easy read and one that will keep you guessing until the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars CSI Miami florida Getaway, 4 Dec 2004
This review is from: Florida Getaway (CSI: Miami) (Paperback)
Totally gripping CSI book which actually starts at Las Vegas CSI. The book totally pulls you into the characters of Horatio and his team and makes you feel like your watching it on the screen. Well written and very gripping i found myself trying to solve it from all the clues and couldn't put it down.
