Customer Reviews

Jade Giant on the big screen

As with most comic book turn movie titles, Hulk has minor changes to fit cinematic necessity. Peter David does his usual excellent writing on the Hulk that makes the character jump off the pages. Fast pace storyline, twists and humor are all included, making it another comic based movie success.

Better Than The Movie

This book is alot better than the film it's self. I can't believe the book is alot better than the movie. Peter David does such a great job on this book that it's not hard not to like it. I recomend This book If you liked this book, check out the movie, soundtrack and video game

Hulk Smash(ing)

I bought this book at an airport and, after seeing the fil, did not have very high hopes but i was desperate so i bought it.After finishing the book I'd packed i reluctantly turned to the novelisation and i found myself reading more than i intended to each day.The plot seemed to make more sense and i found myself caring more about the characters than in the movie. Nothing against the movie - i loved it but once you've seen something you've seen it right? - WRONG! Reading Hulk i realised how wrong i was.I have now decided that novelisations of movies are great idea and have read Spider-Man, Daredevil and i intend to read LXG and X-Men......Mow if i could just find X-Men 2 then that would be great!

yes, surprisingly good

I've read a few movie to book novels including the star wars books (minus AOTC) and X-men. this one by far surpasses them. I was a bit wary of it but the style was wonderful and was written to tell the characters thought and feelings. It shows more of the Hulk's feelings and of Bruce's feelings. There is also a few parts that weren't in the movie such as info about Bruce's adoptive mother and info on Glen and Betty. The narration is omniscent and revolves mostly on the character's thoughts/feelings but never is boring. I would strongly recomend this book to anyone who liked the movie or anyone who thought the movie was lacking.

The HULK Novel is EXCELLENT........

You can definitely differentiate between the Novel and the TV Series The Incredible HULK and as a result, the Novel is definitely more closer to the Comic, the way the HULK is supposed to look and act.. So what if there were some minor changes compared to the comics, Comic Purists will never be happy no matter how good the movie is and it will be.. My Recommendation: If you need more familarity with the character the HULK, Pick up this Novel today.. The scene with the Hulk Dogs was actually described in brutal fasion and I could play out the entire book in my head and visualize every scene and I have come to the conclusion that this movie will be very emotional, and you know what?? That's a Good thing.. This is sort of like A Beautiful Mind meets A Beautiful Monster type of story.. Audiences love a good story and this is what will sell this movie the most: The STORY and FX come 2nd.. Perhaps The Matrix Reloaded won't be the mvoe to beat this Summer, but instead, it's The HULK!!
