Book Review: Firefly The Gorramn Shiniest lexicon and Phrasebook within the ‘Verse

loading...


Boy that title could be a mouth full! Welcome to half two of my Firefly book reviews! Last week I took a glance at volume one in all the official companion. If you didn’t scan that one, provides it a goose. once talking regarding it i discussed it being a requirement own for fans of the short lived series. Well this phrasebook (yes that’s however i will be able to talk over with it – that title is simply too long) is for the extremist collector.

One of the foremost charming aspects of Firefly was it’s distinctive accent. From the rough and tumble western speak, to the Chinese curse words – the language of Firefly is supposed to be a melting pot of languages. In some ways that this was distinctive and original – in others it may well be confusing and need a second pass.

The book goes comprehensive with a Firefly lexicon, a vicinity on the employment of Chinese (as antecedently mentioned), further as character bios. The art is nice with stills from the show beside conception art and set items. If you're that rock-ribbed fan, then the book goes to be right up your alley.

That’s the catch tho', you have got to be a rock-ribbed fan (of that they're many). For the typical to even higher than average fan of the show – this might simply be a step too so much in terms of should own items of the series. I count myself among people who have watched the series multiple times, however still wouldn’t have wanted this out on my very own. whereas the character bios square measure nice, you'll be able to additionally notice similar info within the official companion I reviewed last week.

All things thought of, the phrasebook is shiny and of top quality. If you're that extremist fan United Nations agency should own everything within the Firefly universe and therefore the short lived show isn’t enough to satiate that hunger then this can be for you. If you're additional of an informal fan like myself, then the official companion could also be enough for you.
