Review of The Curse of the Black Pearl

I saw this book on display while standing in the middle of the childrens' section of the bookstore with my kids. To pass the time while they thumbed through books trying to decide upon which ones they wanted me to buy them, I picked up this short little book, took a seat and started reading it. Before I knew it I was 35 pages into it and totally fascinated. Needless to say I ended up buying it and finished it the next day. The characters are awesome and you really get to know and understand them so much better than you do in the movie. I had a blast reading this. It was really a fun book, one that adults will enjoy as much as kids! If you're trying to get your kids (3rd grade on up)interested in reading, this would be an awesome book to for them. It is obviously an easy book to read and a very short book at that.

The best disney book I've ever read

This is truly the best adaptation of a movie I have ever read. I've given copies to all my children (aged 5-12) and even my close friends. There is just something about the writing that makes this book come alive. It's even better than the movie.
