A review by gwentolios
Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday by Alan Dean Foster

I was rather disappointed. I remember finishing and thinking 'so little happened, how'd the book get to be so large?' The pacing was slow and the POV from the bot's side of things was lacking. I wanted more computers and engineering talk (not that I'm an engineer) because I feel like that is what the mechs would talk about, but it was hardly mentioned. And I wanted character information, backgrounds and interactions with each other. While it was given for human characters (who DIED and thus had no place in the movies, even in passing) there was none for the stars of Transformers, the Cybertronian's themselves. And this really did not set up anything for the Earth chapter of the war. Still no answers as to why Bee was sent onto earth alone, or how the Cons got there first, or any such interactions. I wanted more canon information and was disappointed.

I really would only recommend this book to those who are over the top fans, for anyone else it really wouldn't be worth the time. Hell, the 80s Marvel comics were more interesting than I find this to be.
