Excellent Book, Better Movie, July 1 2008
By Melissa Russell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Iron Man (Mass Market Paperback)
Having been based on the original script for the movie, the book is excellent. It fills in a lot of gaps and loop holes that the movie slid over, making it a must-read for fans.It is, however, much more dark and angry than the movie, which deflated the excitement I felt from the film.
If you're a fan of the series, pick up this book. If you're a fan of the movie, skip it.

Fun companion to the movie, May 22 2008
By Jesse Jackson "Reader of Stuff" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Iron Man (Mass Market Paperback)
Peter David is one of my favorite writers so I'm not a totally unbiased reviewer (but when has that stopped anyone on the internet). I always enjoy his novelizations. Peter has the ability to take the script and add the little extra details the help to "iron out" the story. (Sorry couldn't resist). Two of my favorite extras were the explanation for J.A.R.V.I.S. and how Pepper got her job with Tony. It's a fun novel and makes for good reading under a tree drinking your favorite beverage.

Peter Davis comes through again, Jun 13 2008

This review is from: Iron Man (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book because: a) Peter David wrote it; b) I LOVE Iron Man; c) I like to read movie books. This one was helpful and eyeopening. Fans of the film will see the stark differences between what the actors came up with during shooting and what Peter David had to work with when making a screenplay into a novel. I love David's work and have done for years. I actually have his original work, Knight Life, and still count it as one of my favorites. Why isn't THAT a movie?? Anyway, a few points in the book explained things I was puzzled about in the movie. The actors got it right, however. David did an excellent job, as usual, with the material he had at hand but the actors humanized and humorized the story. Kudos to everybody!
