Extraordinary! Great!

I got the Book three years ago and went and put it on my book shelf. I recently ordered the graphic novel by Frank Miller: The Dark Knight Returns, and after reading that went and searched my book shelf for Kightfall And Beyond. Knightfall is a gripping novel of the fall of Batman by Bane, the newest criminal to hit Gotham's streets. With Batman broken, Bruce Wayne chooses Jean Paul Valley, A.K.A. Azrael, to become the the new dark knight. But the new Batman's ways of dealing with crime are too Harsh and are giving Batman's name a Bad rap. After defeating Bane, Batman kills two people and Bruce Decideds the he has made the wrong decision. After being healed by Dr. Shondra Kinsolving with her psyoinic healing power, Bruce makes his way back up to reclaiming the mantel of the Bat. When Bruce first became Batman he vowed to fight crime without taking another man's life. So now to take back his name, Bruce must defeat the man who defeated Bane. Once I started to read this book I couldn't put it down! I suggest this book to any age group and you should read it even if you aren't a batman fan! You should also read the Graphic novels Kightfall:Broken Bat and Kightfall:Who Rules the Night.
