[b]36. Lois & Clark: A Superman Novel, by C.J. Cherryh
This novel is based on the LnC TV show, though it strays somewhat from show canon. A disaster happens in Metropolis while Clark is half a world away, and Lois winds up being the hero. It's not bad, though I think I've been spoiled by reading so much good fanfic here. I might have appreciated the novel more if I'd given in to my impulse to buy and read it in the mid-90's, but I decided not to do so because I liked comic books better.
I read this one a few years ago and was disappointed as well. It just didn't compare well to the fanfic that I had read.
