Absolute must have...

This book the the end all must have for anyone and everyone who liked the Scooby Doo movie.Not only does it give you something to do while you wait for the DVD, it appears to have been written from an earlier version of the movie, so many scenes that had been left out are included in this book(jinkies!). I was surprized by the number of downright hilarious jokes that had been left out of the movie for reasons unknown to me.Unfortunently but unsurprizingly the more raunchy jokes have been altered however, but since you can see them in the movie it doesn't make much of a difference.It says for ages 8-12, but I'm 16 and I enjoyed it, and I think any scooby fan will too =)

The junior novelization based on the hit summer movie!

This junior novelization is based on the new hit movie "Scooby Doo". Starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini, "Scooby Doo" was made into an immediate favorite of mine after seeing it in theaters. So I of course got this book to read until the movie comes out on DVD. Here is the plot of the story:When Mystery Inc. again solves another mystery, the gang splits up for reasons of their own. Velma is tired of not getting any credit for her brain-work, Fred arrogantly thinks himself better working alone, and Daphne has had it with her 'damsel-in-distress' part. Only Shaggy and Scooby Doo is left heart-broken. But a few years later, the whole gang is invited to Spooky Island to investigate the mysterious going-ons and the strange behavior of the students who visit there. Of course the Scooby Gang wants to solve the mystery without the help of the others but in the end, they discover that the only way they would ever solve the mystery is to work together. But it will not be easy as clue by clue, the gang discovers a sinister plot to rule the world!In reality I would give this book 4 1/2 stars because of the style used to write the book. Every chapter is read through the eyes of the characters Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and occasionally Scooby. Overall, this approach was interesting to read and very fun to be able to see through the characters eyes. Unfortunately, using this technique also is at some points a damper since many subplots and events seem to be missing. But on the whole the story is fun to read and recommended for younger readers. Also included in the center of the book are pictures from the motion pictures, a total of 14 photos.Also recommended is "Scooby Doo: The Complete Movie Scrapbook", the ultimate guide for all who loved the movie "Scooby Doo". Included cast and character guides, behind the scenes info, facts from the movie, special effects chapter, and a fun Scooby IQ test at the end of the book.
