GREAT BOOK FOR 10 YEAR OLD

Mortal Kombat: A Novel My son is a big fan of the Mortal Kombat movies and wanted to read more about the characters. He loves it.

Combattimento Mortale

Based upon the popular film Mortal Kombat, 'Mortal Kombat: A Novel' is beginning to be recognised as a classic. Generally the book is very faithful to the film, and what it lacks in the movie's luscious visual textures it makes up for with Martin Delrio's lyricism. In one episode of the book, Sub Zero is looking at Scorpion whose leg he has just frozen "in a legwarmer of diamond butterflies", while Scorpion "evacuates from the pigpen dungeon of his dirty guts a powerful authoritarian bellow." Another scene Johnny Cage uppercuts Reptile and the action momentarily suspends in this delicate lull; a wind "enchanted with a fine herbed pungency from whisking through a sage patch" passes by Johnny Cage, and Reptile is "reeking and barfing green poisonous syrup." Such potency. This book is timeless... immortal kombat.

Mortal kombat

This book is based off of the movie. its great to read after the movie and compare the two.

Not bad...

A fairly good book, but based too completely on the movie, not all that much variation. There were a few differences here and there, the fight between Sub-Zero and that guard guy, a few of Sonya's fights, and a few of the things in Johnny's Battle with Scorpion, but not much else. Being a die-hard fan of the series myself, I really enjoyed it, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone who isn't

great adventure, two thumbs up, 10

I thought Mortal Kombat was a great book, probably one of the best I've read. I liked its type of action-adventre mix. A real good book to say the least
