Scrapped Princess: worth buying?

[pKjd]

I actually thought the anime was pretty decent, considering the entire story was summarized in 24 episodes. But I much rather prefer the original novel (not the manga... for the love of god stay away from the manga!). The transition from novel to anime had its issues of omitting a lot of important detail from Pacifica's past and the characters that surround her. So, I guess this is one of those titles that will only appeal to a certain audience. Worth buying? I'd say rent if you have the opportunity ^_~
