The Iron Man Paperback – March 3, 2005

Wonderful book with fabulous illustrations

Great book. Arrived promptly and in perfect condition. If you liked the Iron Giant movie, this book is what inspired it.

I read this book to my 6 and 4 year old nephews. The 4-year-old lost interest almost immediately, but the 6-year-old really enjoyed it. I also read it to my adult-aged girlfriend, as practice, and we had a great time. There's some fun repetition and good opportunities for doing voices. I also appreciate that the characters are neither "good" nor "evil", but instead act according to their circumstances. The handful of illustrations are great too.

As long as it took to ship I am happy to have this bookCarefully packaged paperback was undamaged from shipping.

As someone who grew up watching the Iron Giant this is a gem. The story line is different from the book, but it helps to appreciate both stories. The art work was fantastic and matched the storyline perfectly all the way through, from beginning to end. The book is better than I thought, it is most definitely an item I would recommend for buying for yourself or to read for to children.

My most favorite film and also a great book! This book has the same spirt of the film but is very different. Don't buy this expecting it to be a remake of the film.With that being said, it is such a well written tale of a Iron Man and his quest for identity and self. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the movie, to any young man who needs to fall in love with a book, or to just about anyone who wants a quick and joyous reading experience.

I bought this book for my son, and his review follows:I am 8 years old and I think you should read this book because when I read it I felt like I was Hogarth. One of the things I liked about it was that the Iron Man gave a monster a burning surprise. I also like Hogarth because he's smart and also helpful. He comes up with a lot of ideas that are useful and he's only a kid. WOW!!!! I also like it because I felt like I was being sucked into the book and having an adventure. You should get this book for your kid because they would like it a lot. I mean it!

The movie the iron giant is based on this book, and our son loves watching movies and reading the books they’re based off of!
