2.0 out of 5 stars Disjointed jumble of plot points, August 25, 2000
By Kimberly Kendziora (Burke, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a telegraphic, disjointed list of things that happen in the movie. There is no real narrative to speak of. I got the book for my 3-year-old before we saw the movie, and until then, it made no sense. Now, it is useful as a way of warding off having to go see that dreadfully acted movie again. As much as my son loves (and I appreciate) Thomas the Tank Engine, this book does a disservice to the characters and themes of the original series. The other two movie-based softcover books (one about Diesel 10 and one about Lady) are somewhat better -- they don't have the lessons of the original series, but at least they make some sense on their own.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment, August 22, 2000
By A Customer
Incredibly disappointing - not anywhere near the quaint stories written by the Rev. Awdry and son. This story has so many possibilities, yet never lives up to its potential.

By A Customer
Well,this book is great for parents to read to their child.It has a plot based on the movie.It's a great book that parents can enjoy,too.I think Thomas The Tank Engine was meant to be made because all of the family can enjoy this series.I rate this as an excellent book that has 5 stars.
