Sorry but had to laugh when Ironhide made remark about the "vermin" problem (the dog) and how he suggested eliminating sam's parents "painlessly"

lol. I liked that part too.

"Sorry-he has this male dominance thing."

Haha...who says the male dominance thing, because I find that pretty funny.

I was going to pick it it up today at Walmart but they didn't have it out

I wonder if there following the June 2nd date for the book also?

I only read a few posts because I don't want to ruin anything. This story was written to be a film, so that is how I want to experience it the first time. Preferably at Botcon with many other TF fans.

I did read and enjoy the prequel book.

How does something like the wrong names make it into the novelization? Didn't anybody think that maybe they should update the authors of there product? Or did the editor just say "F@ck it."

Thats really sad, even for a movie novelization.

I was looking forward to the book, too.

Anyway, thanks go out to everyone who has held back spoilers! I really appreciate it! Let's just hope no one's an a-hole and ruins things for those of us who are waiting for the movie. I really don't want to have to abandoned the board until I see the movie at Botcon.

You'd think you'd be used to it, they do it with every single novelization of every single movie ever to get a novelization.

jeez. i should go to my book store to see if they have it.

I knew I would get this reply. Anyway, yes, I know it happens all the time, but it doesn't change the fact that I feel it's poor marketing and that it pisses me off royally!

Has anyone seen either of these books in the UK? Ghosts of Yesterday is impossible to find.

Maybe they don't think it will sell.

I think I'll hold off until A) I find the prequel novel in the library and read that and B) Watch the movie.

Sunstar, I hope you are being your usually silly self.

Just don't tell me if Blackout and/or Brawl bite the dust. They are two of the coolest looking characters they've created for this film and I'll be rather... disappointed if they're killed off. Besides, I'd rather find out for myself rather than have someone tell me.
