This was the first X-men book that I read, and since I know them from books and have never read a comic, that's something. It's still one of my favourite. It doesn't have as much action as others I have read, but it is still an excellent read and a good, solid book. I do reccomend it.

This book was one of the best books I've read. I liked all the characters and the scenes in the book. Who ever likes superstition or adventure books, this is the one you got to read. This book is about Juggernaunt and the emerald. This emerald gives Juggernaunt strong powers. Since there is another emerald in the same dimension, who ever wears it will make Juggernaunt weak. It is up to the X-Men to stop Steve Service who has the emerald. I liked the characters in the book. Gambit was good at sneaking in the office of the big boss. This book gives lots of suspense. This book also teaches teamwork. If the X-Men did not have team work in this book, they would have been defeated. I would rate this book an 8 between 1 to 10. It has lots of adventure and action. I loved this book and I hope you enjoy or enjoyed this book too.

This was definitely one of the most boring books I've everread. I liked the character Gary Service, but that's about it. Therewas a few (very few) good parts, but overall I just coulndn't get intothe book. I agree with the reader from Uniontown PA [about the coverart. The only character that even looked decent was Bishop. Unlessyou're a big Juggernaut fan or just want to be able to say 'I readevery X-Men novel wriiten', I would recomend you pass on buying thisbook. Save your money and rent it from a library if you really want toread it.

An interesting piece of novel done by Dean Wesley Smith. Very imaginative and powerfully addictive. In just less than one day i spent a serene afternoon reading this wonderful novel amazed at the beautifully written comic literature. A joy to read, a story to be unforgettable, this book is a best by for me!

This is one of the worst X-Men novels I have ever read, and I would suggest you not buy it unless you need it for your collection. The story was boring and slow. Many of the X-Men were out of character. Some showed unexpectedly weak personalities in the story. The ending was predictable and none of the characters changed or had much resolved. Overall, I wish I had not wasted my time on this.

X-Men Unlimited is a semi-monthly comic from Marvel which details smaller stories that take place with the team. This book was like that. Fairly simple plot that heads to a somewhat predictable ending. Dean W. Smith has done somewhat better work with the Spider-Man novels instead.

I'm not really surpirised I don't like this, and most of the people before me back this up. It was extremely poor, with a beyond-basic plot that went along with unwavering predictablitiy. The characters were dull and unrealistic, with no true redeeming features. The artwork was, to put it mildly, bog standard and unimpressive.

The characters recieve nothing from this book, nor do they truly evolve or develop through it. Why must people continue to publish such junk? When will they realise that people actually want to put down a comic book and walk away WITH something that they will take with them forever. Praise Niel Gaiman!

I thought that the way the X-Men and the Juggernaut put aside their differences to stop a NEW Juggernaut and save the planet was a good storyline and the subplot of the people that hold the shards of the emerald of Cytarrak was very good. also i like the way the X-Men save the planet from a much greater thrat than theey realized.

Fresh from reading the vastly superior "Smoke and Mirrors" book, I expected another (at least decent) ride through the fantastic world of Marvel. Instead, I found a formulated story about (gasp!> another juggernaut. lah-de-dah The new characters were just carbon copy stereotypes. The hermit, the crime-lord, etc. In this book, A true minute of emotion was virtually non-existent. Don't waste your time on this book.

P.s. The cover art was atrocious.

If I could go back in time I probably would have never bought this book. The plot has me snoring through most of the book and I have seen better writing in children's books. Maybe I could use the book for a paperweight.
