Kurzbeschreibung
THE ORIGINAL HEAVY METAL HERO
Millionaire industrialist Tony Stark’s genius for designing and building high-tech, ultradestructive weapons for America’s armed forces has inspired critics to dub him the modern-day Leonardo da Vinci–as well as “merchant of death,” a moniker he embraces with cool arrogance. But when he’s ambushed and kidnapped in the middle of a war zone, Stark comes face-to-face with his own mortality . . . and his true destiny. Now, thanks to him, enemy forces are about to meet their maker. And the world of warfare is about to meet its future–a weapon of mass destruction that walks and talks. When man and machine unite, it can only mean one thing: It’s time to stand ready or stand back–but don’t stand in the way, or else risk the mighty metallic fury of . . .

Excellent Book, Better Movie
1. Juli 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Having been based on the original script for the movie, the book is excellent. It fills in a lot of gaps and loop holes that the movie slid over, making it a must-read for fans.
It is, however, much more dark and angry than the movie, which deflated the excitement I felt from the film.
If you're a fan of the series, pick up this book. If you're a fan of the movie, skip it.

Fun companion to the movie
22. Mai 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Peter David is one of my favorite writers so I'm not a totally unbiased reviewer (but when has that stopped anyone on the internet). I always enjoy his novelizations. Peter has the ability to take the script and add the little extra details the help to "iron out" the story. (Sorry couldn't resist). Two of my favorite extras were the explanation for J.A.R.V.I.S. and how Pepper got her job with Tony. It's a fun novel and makes for good reading under a tree drinking your favorite beverage.

Peter Davis comes through again
13. Juni 2008
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book because: a) Peter David wrote it; b) I LOVE Iron Man; c) I like to read movie books. This one was helpful and eyeopening. Fans of the film will see the stark differences between what the actors came up with during shooting and what Peter David had to work with when making a screenplay into a novel. I love David's work and have done for years. I actually have his original work, Knight Life, and still count it as one of my favorites. Why isn't THAT a movie?? Anyway, a few points in the book explained things I was puzzled about in the movie. The actors got it right, however. David did an excellent job, as usual, with the material he had at hand but the actors humanized and humorized the story. Kudos to everybody!
