Phase One: Iron Man (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Awesome book

My name is Rhys and I am a 10 year old kid who has read this book. I think that this book is a great book and everyone who is an Iron Man lover should read it. The book includes Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2. This book is about a rich, smart, man called Tony Stark. He has a lab in his basement and creates a bunch of super-high-tech stuff. One day he is at a meeting in the desert in Afghanistan and he gets captured by a terrorist group who wants a bunch of his nuclear missiles. He tells them the stuff he needs, but instead of making the missiles, he makes the first Iron Man suit, and that changes his life forever. I think kids ages 8-12 would enjoy this book. I love all of the action and all of the dumb things that Tony Stark says. This book is a well written book. The author, Alex Irvine, has done a good job. I hope that there will be an Iron Man 3 book so that I can read it. There are books related to this such as, Captain America, The Hulk, and Thor. I suggest you read all of them.

This well done, chapter-book version of the Iron Man backstory is a jewel and a half. Unlike most milquetoast adaptations, this one finally does the superhero justice, pulling few punches, while also being aware of the sensibilities and vocabulary of the mid-to-late-elementary-school set. My 8-year-old, who **isn't** the biggest superhero fanboy in the universe, just plowed through this like it wasn't there. He had a wording question every few chapters ("Mom, what's "quiet reserve"?), showing me that Mr. Irvine is helping him pick up some juicy vocal nuggets along the way. My son is now greatly looking forward to _Thor_, and we hope Mr. Irvine has plans for a Spider-Man, too!

This novelization series is quite good. The story is well paced and well plotted, the vocabulary is challenging, and cover art is nice. My eight year old son is reading these now (too young to see the movies) and enjoys them very much. I buy a lot of books for our school's library (I'm a librarian) and these make the cut.

This book was awesome it combined Iron man 1 and 2 and the best part was War Machine!!!!!!!!! But still my favorite book is the Hulk

I definitely would give this book five stars for the action and fun in it. I personally really like superhero books and iron man is in my top two.I love this book also because of the amazing detail. The detail is so good I can imagine exactly what it looks like whiplash and all.

i bought this book at barns and noble early this week. I absolutely love it.Finally a junior novel of both iron man movies that is actually complete. And the fact that its hard cover makes it more worth your money.i highly recommend it.

Nice way to start a child on the marvel series

Le livre serait bon pour des notes, mais je m'attendais à lire un roman plus complet. Les livre de la meme serie sont pareils.

Iron man is awesome to read and has lots of funny parts . The entire book is full of action.
