Cowboy Bebop Book

[Dave_911]

Did anyone read the cowboy bebop book that was different from the anime? it was based on the anime but it was supposedly an alternate storyline of some sorts...

anyway if anyone read it lemme know if it was trash or if it was actually worth the time and money

and plz no spoliers

I've only got the first volume, but it is worth the time as the action is quite good and the storyline is quite different, it's fun and different enough from the anime to be worth it.

Could you give an example of what in the book is different than the anime. Please use spoiler tags.

I have read the first volume of Cowboy Bebop and I thought it was really good. I don't have it anymore, because it was given to me as a gift, and my mom started in on me because my friend that gave it to me was a guy. Which is a really stupid reason to get mad, but she's a *me saying a really bad word under my breath*
But, back on the subject... Yeah it is worth the time and money, especially if you're a REAL Cowboy Bebop fan, which, hopefully, you are.

Well...assuming we're talking about 'Shooting Star' here

Some examples we're looking at:
-Ed is the one to find Ein, and for a while, Jet and Spike are convinced she got rid of Ein, even though he hasn't left
-Spike and Jet's backgrounds aren't touched on at all (which seems a touch strange at first given there are at least two jobs they take involving the mafia.)
and
-A big thing would be the fact they're generally a lot more successful in their hunts...to the point they actually get praised on an ep of Big Shots

That's what I was wondering, are you talking about Shooting Star because I haven't read those. The other series, however, is really great and has a lot of really great jokes. It's worth the money.
