nanceoir's review
3.0
On the good end, there's lots of fun, detail-oriented things like descriptions of the sections of the station, how to read rank symbols, and great summaries of various cases (loling forever at all of Londo's drunk and disorderly charges). I also really like the various technical drawings, even if some of the labels are hard to read (the show's title font doesn't work well in smaller sizes).
On the less-than-good end is really a style thing. The book's supposed to be an in-universe thing, which it pulls off... occasionally. Much of the time, it's clearly trying to remind readers of incidents from the show and not pulling it off with a lot of finesse. Basically, the seams aren't hidden very well.
It's an interesting concept and, even though the execution stumbles, a fun (and quick) read.
