Iron Man Movie Tie-Ins

review 1: It follows the movie plot very closely. Since I read this as research, it didn't matter to me that I knew what was going to happen. I did learn some things from the book that you don't learn in the movie, most of them concerning names: How Pepper got her nickname, Jarvis is an acronym, "You" and "Dummy" are the robots' actual names. This would likely be a 5-star book if I hadn't seen the movie first.
review 2: I've been a sucker for movie novelizations since I was a kid, back before the advent of home video. With a movie novelization and my pretty-good memory, I could "see" a movie again whenever I wanted. So far this one is a great example of the genre (is it a genre?). I'm about a third of the way through and it's very well done. I'm glad I gave in to the... more impulse and got it.ETA: Finished it a few nights ago. It's pretty much "just what it says on the tin." You're not getting great literature here, you're getting a movie tie-in. And for what it was, I liked it just fine. He did some slightly weird stuff with his POV switches, but the background scenes that weren't part of the scene (how Tony met Pepper) were very cute. less
