La novelización de una película siempre lleva todas las de perder, sobretodo cuando uno YA VIO la película. Sin embargo, se nota el esfuerzo del autor por agregar pequeños detalles que ayudan a darle un poquito más de contexto a algunos detalles a los que obviamente no se les puede dar más atención en la versión animada.

The novel of a film by Katsuhiro Otomo set in London during the 1860s. I don't really feel like I need to say more.

A great extension from the film, filled with a wonderful storyline and descriptors, with the backing of a beautiful world.

Also has an extended ending from the film for those who loved Scarlett and Ray.
