This book is a great story for kids of all ages and for the young at heart. So as not to spoil it for anyone, I'll just say this: It weaves a story of the value of life, and will entertain the children for hours.

I read this book book with my young son, three chapters a night. He could not wait for bedtime every night. I could'nt wait to get to the next chapter. I now understand the whole pokemon thing much better. The ending brought tears to my eyes and my son was wide eyed. We live in Saudia Arabia where there is no pokemon so it was just by luck we found this book and we are desperatly looking for more. We recommend this book to all parents and children who love to read togather.

This book is okay, and great for the kids, but it missrepresents Mewtwo terribly. This book has been written like most kids' minds work: a villian cannot be good and bad at the same time. There is no happy medium. Yes, there are kids who grasp the concept of a "friendly nemisis" pretty well, but there are those who do not. Therefore, in the book Mewtwo is misrepresented and portrayed as a shallow villian who's only desire is to be a world conquerer.

This is not at all how the origonal movie portrays him. The only reason Mewtwo lashed out like he did was because he was protecting himself, confused, and blinded by rage. Then, disillusioned by mankind, he set out to destroy it. Total and complete genocide. He didn't know that what he planned to do was wrong. The thought never crossed his mind. he was only a few days old, for crying out loud!

This book, though great for younger readers, isn't how the movie was. The author has given Mewtwo a massive inferiority complex and a real short temper, and set him loose to stomp Tokyo to the ground. Even though he admits his mistakes at the end, the response seemed forced and stale. Even rehearsed.

In the beginning, even the other characters, the scientists, could've been more developed. They didn't seem right. They didn't seem professional. Even Prof. John Smith (aren't we the clever character namer?) seemed to not know his profession. Glass tube with red fluid? Try artificial womb with simulated amniotic fluid. Cloning machine? Puh-lease...

Sure, it works for the little kids, but older fans and others may find it frustrating, and insulting to their intelligence. A more accurate novelization? Try the Art of Pokemon: The First Movie. It's much better.

This book was written exactly like the movie!It was so good that I had to find out what would happen next that I finished it in 2 days. I absouletly loved how well done it was and am going to read it again. I also liked the pictures that were included from the movie.

This is a good book! I like it when all the pokemon original and clones cry for Ash because he got in Mewtwo's crossfire!

this is a cool book for all pokemon fans . in this story it at the beginning says mewtwo is as the world's greastest pokemon .At the end mewtwo admits it's original ,mew is stronger.

This book is wonderful. Based on the movie that's currently in theatres. This book when I read it captured me. The movie captured me even more. It shows about life. The book is something that you should read. And, the movie you should also see if you haven't already seen it. It demonstrates something about life that everybody should know about. I would recommend this book for anybody, even the older ones because this book is for pretty much all ages. It will capture your heart, both the book and the movie.

This is a book that wonderfly summarizes the movie, Mewtwo Strikes back. It's a great summary with awesome color photos from the movie. I haven't seen the movie, yet, because of this book, I know what it's all about

For all the people who think Pokemon is really boring, think again, it's great in books!Mewtwo is a powerful clone of the Pokemon Mew.He is back for his revenge after breaking out of Giovani's lab many years ago.Taking the most powerful of trainers or pokemon masters.Mewtwo's plan of creating the most powerful pokemon army alive begins.Being chosen as one of the powerful players, Ash is taken with his associates, Misty and Brock to the secret castle where he meets the other most powerful players with his guide, Nurse Wendy, who had been kidnapped from the pokemon healing center or hospital.There, Mewtwo clones all the pokemon and creates the rowdiest war ever!Copies and originals will fight in the ultimate battle.But Ash gets terribly hurt, and he may die!...........
