2.0 out of 5 stars Badly written, February 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Toy Story 2 (Hardcover)

My 3 1/2 year old son enjoys this book, and I'll admit that the illustrations are great, but I find the text of this book lacking. For example on page 40, the text reads: "I'm supposed to be played with," he decided"--is this even correct grammar? The choppiness of the text, lack of flow, and overuse of exclamation points makes the story a disappointment to read.

2.0 out of 5 stars NICE ART, LOUSY WRITING, March 29, 2003

This review is from: Toy Story 2 (Hardcover)

My 2 1/2 year old son loves this book and I think most children familiar with the movie will because it presents familiar characters and situations. But it feels *so* incredibly tossed off! The writing is slapdash, lackluster and just pathetically bad. Good storytelling is more than just hitting the high notes of a film -- if you're going to bother making a book, it should read well *as a book*. This book lacks the heart and soul that actually "animates" the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, wonderful book!, August 2, 2000

This review is from: Toy Story 2 (Hardcover)

My one year old son loves Toy Story, especially Woody. His face lights up at the sight of him and this book has wonderful color pictures that keeps him interested when I read it to him. It follows the movie very well and is his favorite night-time read. It is also broken down into chapters so you don't have to read it all in one sitting. Thank goodness for this book and I can only wait for the movie!
