Hitman: Enemy Within: A Novel

I am a massive fan of the hitman game series & was horrified to see Hollywood turn it into an one of the worst 80's b rate, action films, I have ever seen. One of the worst films I have ever seen. I was very impressed with this book, I personifies 47 perfectly & includes some amazing concepts that would not work in a video game, but complement the character completely.

Is a great book. it's a better version of the 'movie' (wished the movie is as good as the book). for 47 fan's, this is a must read book

As a fan of the game series, I was very interested in this book. While not the deepest, intellectual read I've ever had, it was pleasantly surprised with the book. It takes the character to new places and does expand on what makes him tick. Some of the other characters are fairly flat and most are quickly dealt with by the protaganist. For someone with no knowledge of the games, it will be an easy, action-packed read. For a die-hard fan, there are plenty of "yea, right!" moments, but still I enjoyed the franchise (not 'The Franchise', mind you) moving to another media. All in all, a worthwhile purchase.

I really do recomend reading this book, it has everything that a fan of the game would want. William C. Dietz captured 47's emotions very well and sends you whirling into the assassins thoughts. This book also explains some of 47's childhood where the game explaind his past but never really touched his childhood and I liked that. I hope that there will be more Hitman books to come.

First off, I loved the games and am really looking forward to the upcoming movie. This book was well written and if you've played the games, you wont be disappointed as all the techniques Agent 47 uses are employed. Some reveiwers disliked the nudity/langauge used but I feel it was not overdone and enhanced the story. This is after all adult subject matter based on an adult game. The really cool thing I liked about this book was how it jumped all over the world and actually educated me about some places and customs. I look forward to (hopefully) many sequels and would love this to be a continuing series.
