This was a solid adaptation of the screenplay and worded, I feel, just right for the ages it was meant for.
Nothing was over the top and it was a speeded up version of the movie since a lot of details were removed but had I not seen the movie, those omitted details don't hurt the pacing or storyline of this book at all.
I love that, again for the age group, none of the fight scenes went into heavy wording or graphic details which was very well done to convey the moments without that.

This book follows the movie Captain America: The First Avenger directly and often word-for-word. It does a good job of translating to a new medium, letting you listen to the movie rather than watch it, but does not add anything additional.

I liked this quite a lot! The first avengers book was better in my opinion, because this missed a lot of information. But it was still so amazing to read Steve's thoughts during... Well all of this

Have you seen the movie? If you’ve seen the movie, you’ve read the book. It doesn’t add anything new to the story. In fact, it takes some things away. The book is strictly written from Cap’s POV, so anything about the Red Skull or Peggy is not in the book. Even then, it leaves a few scenes out.
I didn’t love it, but it was perfectly fine to listen to while I was sewing. Also recommended for reluctant or beginning readers, including adults with emerging literacy, who are fans of Marvel. Most other readers are going to find the book as flat as Steve Rogers’ shield. 2.4 stars
