Thank you to Scholastic for this book in exchange for an honest review

Synopsis:

A thrilling novelization that will take readers back inside the world of the upcoming Walt Disney Studios’ live action Mulan film to relive the adventures with their favorite characters, old and new.

Review:

Nope. Didn’t like it.

If this is play for play what the movie will be then I’m sorry to say – I ain’t going to watch it.

Not only does this book not include the great characters that made the animation this also was forced as a fast paced page turner. This means that pretty much all the situations are thrown at you and you don’t get a chance to take in information about the world, the characters of anything else. It’s pretty much the plot punching you in the face yelling “I am fast paced dammit.”

There was no chance for the characters to shine through (or what remains of them since all the fun ones were taken out) and besides a few comments here and there the book could have realistically fitted into any world, past or present.

Honestly gave it one star as a thank you for pre-warning me not to watch the movie.

Rating: 1/5
