Serenity: Float Out by Patton Oswalt
3.0
2 stars for the actual story + 1 star for the feels
I'm not generally a picky person when it comes to books so I'm starting to feel weird rating all these short Serenity stories fairly poorly. If you haven't seen the movie Serenity, please just stop reading now because it'll spoil the shit out of everything.
SPOILERS!
Okay, so despite the fact that the story is passable at best it still made me cry at the end because:
Damn you Joss Whedon!
So yeah, Float Out is three old friends of Wash remembering good times with him as they christen their ship the "Jetwash." The stories are mildly amusing but only because I imagined it in my head rather than looking at the damned ugly artwork. I hate to say it because I love Patton Oswalt but this just wasn't Wash for me. It was too stiff, tried too hard. If you loved Wash as much as I did, it might be worth a read but otherwise it's very skippable.
