Book Reviews of The Iron Giant
Book Review: A children's book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because I loved the movie.
This was also a really cool book, but it's very different from the movie. There are actually only a few concepts taken from this book that made it into the movie--a) that the iron giant can fix himself, b) that the boy's name is Hogarth, and c) that the iron giant eats metal. Nothing else is the same, really.
Brad Bird is a genius to make the movie he did out of this book.
I didn't realize this, but the book was written in 1968. It's very much in children's book format, with small, chunk-sized stories, that would be very fun to read out loud.
Overall I really enjoyed this book.
