"The Dark Knight Rises: The Official Novelization" by Greg Cox

♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

That's how a novelization should be written! Greg Cox doesn't add any new scenes that weren't in the movie itself but he lets the reader peek at the characters' thoughts and emotions. I wanted to learn more about Talia and Bane and I did a bit, most importantly though, their genuine affection and devotion to each other was confirmed by this book. And we also learned more about John Blake and Commissioner Gordon! Batman and Catwoman have never been a big draw for me in this book/movie so I appreciated that other characters got so much space.

Basically, if you liked the movie, you will like the book.
