Books like Tron: Legacy

This is the only adaptation of Alfonsi's I have read and, based on her other books, is likely to remain the only one.The only problem I have with Alfonsi's contribution to the Tron universe is that when she veers from the movie, inserting her own touch, she pounds it in, for example with Castor's top hat and tails which is utterly ridiculous in such a world. This isn't Alice in Wonderland. This is a dark technological world that doesn't have time for such silly touches. The way Michael Sheen played Castor fit easily into this world. Alfonsi's descriptions do not, especially not the way she describes the destruction of the End of Line Club, which seems needlessly complicated when it was handled much more simply in the movie. That's not to say that Alfonsi should have parroted the movie line by line, description by description, but some things just don't fit. However, there are instances such as with Bartik the Anarchist, in which she adds more layers, more depth to this world. There is that, and while it doesn't come often, it, and other little touches such as her getting the voice of Kevin Flynn, and by extension Jeff Bridges, down so well, makes it a pleasurable read.And there's a good laugh to be had at the end of the novel. In order to read the final chapters, you have to go to the website address provided. The way it's handled is an insightful commentary on how we're doing more and more on computers and it's only going to increase. Maybe one day, at the rate we're going, there will actually be a Grid. We're not that far off.
