I'm a big fan of the X-Men and i found this book very enjoyable. The auther does an excellent job discribing the characters and everything. I recomend this book to anyone. If you liked this book, check out the movie, soundtrack and all other X-men merchandise

The Best!!!

I thin this book is great. It is just like the movie but instead you create the speical effects. It is great because it it tells youu stuff that you didn't see in the movie. If you are an X-MEN fan I recament this. :)

X-MEN THE MOVIE

THIS BOOK DISCRIBES THE SCENES SO WELL.I KNOW BY THE TIME YOU READ THE FIRST CHAPTER YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT THE BOOK DOWN.THE MOVIE WAS JUST LIKE THIS BOOK, SO MUCH ACTION, IN ONE CHAPTER THAT BY THE TIME YOUR DONE READING IT YOU'LL WAN'T TO READ IT AGAIN.AFTER YOU READ THIS BOOK GO TO YOUR LOCAL VIDEO STORE TO RENT OR BUY THE MOVIE.SO YOU CAN COMPARE LARA BERGEN'S WAY SHE WROTE THE BOOK AND HOW THE MOVIE IS WRITTEN.THIS BOOK IS GREAT FOR MARVEL COMICS FANS AND KIDS WHO LIKE READING BOOKS ABOUT SUPER HEROS.I BOUGHT THE BOOK AND WAS DONE READING IT IN THREE DAYS AND DID IT FOR A BOOK REPORT IN SCHOOL.

Good for young readers

When I first picked up this book, I didn't know it was the youth novelization and I thought it was overly simplistic. But then I found the bigger novel, which I was looking for, and the light bulb went on!This condenses the movie well, and explains it, but the fact that they actually type out the sound effects (SHOOK! "Aaarrggh!") got on my nerves in about two seconds. Maybe the kids won't mind, but it really bothered me.

MOVIE ACTION FOR THE KIDS

I have yet to see this movie (or even read the larger novel), but I actually got this book for a younger cousin of mine, who is really excited about the movie. But, I did flick through the book myself and think that it condenses the film down very well for the younger readers. If they are unable to grasp some of the subject matter, then the large-print prose explains it to them in an intelligent, non-patronising way. In fact, my cousin liked the book that much, he wants to see the movie even more now! Great job, Lara!
