Transformers Dark of the Moon

I have to think that when I started this novel I had some idea of what was going to happen, but I found myself like the autobots completely 'sideswiped' by this novel, by the actions of a select few that cause the whole dynamic of this epic war to shift into something far beyond just right and wrong. This is a classic G1 story line ripped from the past and retold in stellar detail. The science fiction is written in such a way that one could believe it and for what it's worth, you want hope beyond your heart that what's happening isn't really what's going on.As you read this, it's clear something greater is at stake here, this isn't so much about the robots, but it's about Mankind, and their struggle to save their own. Yes the Transformers help them, but like the humans the transformers lose their own too. There are five autobot deaths written in this book, and for the sake of my review I won't spoil those for you, but the ache I felt after reading this, and though in the end the earth is saved, I was left feeling as heartbroken and sorrowfull as Prime himself, who truely becomes at the end of the novel the Prime we've been wanting to see, but have not in the Michael Bay Franchise.If this is what the movie has in store for us this will be a BLOCKBUSTER, it will be shock and awe, and it will change the way some of the hardcore fans, like myself, look at Optimus Prime.Til all are one; we are here, we are home.

This book gives me hope for the upcoming movie. The story seems very crisp, and there were some points that really stunned me; one in particular made me sit up in my seat and take notice. In fact, I had to turn back and make sure I read what I thought I was reading.In short, it was a great read, and I can't wait to see it all take place onscreen.

for those who have seen the movies, and read the books, you'll know that right away theres more content in the book.there's not really a whole heck of alot I can say that wont introduce spoilers, and anyone who's seen doctor who knows the rule regarding spoilers.. 'no spoilers!'.I'll just say you wont go amiss in buying this book.

Much like the movie its beginning is supremely weak, but picks up half way. Interesting that instead of Alan Dean Foster who did the previous two novelization as well as two other tie-ins. But I applaud the move, Peter David adapts the story better than Foster. I really liked the premise of the whole movie involving the Apollo mission and liked how both movie and film had it as a celebration of the human race in the accomplishment. I didn't like that this movie was built around Sam being unsatisfied after what he did in the past Transformers films. Most likely created so as to have Shia LeBeouf find a satisfactory end to his three-picture deal. I have to admit that on screen Carly appears much better than how she is on paper. The actress certainly does a good job. I find it interesting that the book mentions Mikaela in only a few sentences. Making the rift between Michael Bay and Megan Fox that bad.As for the book itself I like the depth of the characters improved with not just the humans but with the Autobots and Decepticons. The font in the book itself is stylized with parenthesis for the Decepticons and bold for the Autobots. You really felt more for Optimus reading his feelings over the betrayal he suffered. I also found it interesting that two reviled characters from the previous movie incurred really tragic death scenes. I really loved those two and felt for them when they died. But I'm sure plenty of cynical jerks would have enjoyed it. Little differences are spread out that make it different. For example when the five pillars are found they are actually put under a safeguard that would have destroyed them if any attempt to break in to the safe they were kept. Many things which I really enjoyed better than what was done in the film. Though at the very end scenes I preferred the movie. Still a very good book. B+.

transformers 3 dark of the moon was an outstanding book.it gave far more details than the movie, but all books do. it was sad, humorous, and showed sacrafice. i loved the book, i saw the movie first. but when i read the book i liked it even more than the movie. i encourage all of you to read the book and enjoy the movie

My husband and I purchase this book for our godson for Christmas. He totally loved it and thought we were super god parents for getting him a Transformer book. It incorporated my two loves, of awesome reading and Optimus Prime.

A great pop up book thats gets kids attention. It has encouraged my grandson to read more, I have several. They cost more than a regular book but he reaches for then first so worth the price.

The media could not be loaded. I haven’t read it yet it seems to be a good well described book on the movie but I was expecting a comic but still happy with product
