2.0 out of 5 stars Nice Illustrations, Poorly Written October 17, 2012

By Reviewer

Format:Hardcover

This book is entertaining for my 5 year old son because he loves super heros but it is very poorly written. The story jumps around too much, has no depth where explanation is needed and too much depth where it is unnecessary. The illustrations are nice which is why I've rated it a 2 star.

Spoiler (example of how wacky the story is): The Hulk pretends to befriend the enemy Namor, helps beat up his friends the Avengers, then turns on Namor and it was supposedly all part of his plan. Very unbelievable and stupid to put in a children's book or any book for that matter.
