Book: D.A. Stern, The Punisher
Location: Border’s: $6.99
A book including the famous criminal catching Punisher is going from comic shops in plastic seals to just another shelf in a bookstore. But although the idea of a comic book character being in a full book is a little sketchy, the book sold rather well. Soon after the release of the book was a movie based on it. The movie did not go in depth of the Frank Castle’s tragic incident of his family being murdered by a drug lord; but it did get to the point.
The book also tells in depth all of Frank Castle’s feelings and his evolution into becoming The Punisher. After Howard Saint; a money craving drug lord rids of Castle’s entire family because of Saint’s son’s death caused by an undercover mission led by none other than Frank Castle. After Saint gets his revenge its Castle’s turn in his own way. “Not Vengeance, but Punishment.” A line Castle states to show his mood and some foreshadowing.
The book really is what you would expect when it comes to retelling the beginning of The Punisher’s story in the comic books. All that the book covers is the beginning of The Punisher to Saint’s death. I barely read books unless it’s for class and I’m lucky if I even do that, but I actuall read this whole book from start to finish. The story was perfectly timed from when you thought that the action was over more action happened. If you are looking for a book filled with action, emotion, and are into the idea of revenge then you might want to check this one out.
