Contains spoilers, click to show
So, this was supposed to be how Robin was killed and Batman retired, all leading up to the events of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. Except... we don't see -any- of that. What we're given is half a story, one that stops just short of delivering what it was supposed to - Robin may or may not be killed, and we see nothing of Batman's reaction to this. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because JRJr's art saves the day for this pointless book.

A Mixed Bag
This book contains 21 stories by 21 different authors. All of these stories center around Prom. This book was hard for me to review, because of how different each story is. Some of them were truly wonderful, however I think the vast majority of them were forgettable. I personally like character driven stories, and character development just isn't something that you see in a lot of short stories. Overall I don't regret reading this, but I probably won't pick it up again.

One of the all-time best
I have read a lot of books, but this was by far one of the best ever. This book was nothing short of amazing. It's the kind of book that stays with you - I still revisit it in my mind. I have not stopped telling people about it since I read it... When it first came out!! It's a near-perfect read. And for lovers of nonfiction, this book reads like a remarkable, moving true story.

This book is very short, maybe 80 pages or so, but it is not an easy read. You need to take your time to really absorb it. It was disjointed at times, but it is a very interesting and enjoyable read, although there are a few pretty graphic part. It follows two story lines, and brings up interesting themes regarding music, control, the relationships between men and women, and on a broader scale, between different countries. It is very poetic and very well written.

Story
A disappointing finale...
A disappointing ending to an otherwise faultless franchise.
The gameplay is as fun as all the other games, but the game is very short with only 7 chapters compared to the usual 20-something of the previous installments, and the storyline is far from memorable...to the point I can't remember what the point of the game was.
Most likely a rushed cash grab, or a rushed final game to possibly fulfil a five-game Uncharted contract.

This is a very short piece of creative writing. And when o first read it, mi initial thought was "eh?". Which is why I never review straight away. After having a few days to ponder it, I realise the depths of interpretation is has. What the messengers represent to the different characters and how these representations have a massive affect on their actions and thus leading to the final part of the story. It was beautifully written, but allow it sink in before you make a judgement!
