DESCRIPTION:
"better read than i thought." according to HARALD G. HALL. the book was better than the movie. i enjoyed reading this book.. Duane Pete Olds said Yo Joe?. Watch out folks, there Be Spoilers a Brewin here.I'm not a HUGE fan of GI Joe, I went to the dark side of Star wars and Star Trek. But I do understand the concept and know the characters, i've even watched some of the cartoons.The thing is, I needed more info before I started this one. The book starts off assuming you know who the characters are right off (Telling you later who they are and backgrounds). J. "Worth waiting for." according to Richard Petsch. G.I.Joe is a worthwhile story in that it gives us a real background to how Cobra came about. It has great characters and a fair amount of surprises in it. The action is well described and the sites we go to give the story its broad appeal to me. I recommend it very highly. Thank you Mr. Collins for giving us a book that takes us in depth to G.I.Joe vs Cobra.
