Picked this up for 99p from HMV, honestly had no idea it existed in addition to the other novelisation, but at this point I'll read anything Wonder Woman!
This was honestly a slightly baffling read, I know I'm not the target market but still, I don't know how much young readers will get out of this? They cut out a lot of things from the movie, bits that could be considered 'adult', but the film isn't R rated so the children reading this would have been allowed to see the whole film so why water this down so much? Ares was also completely cut out, which made the ending and boat scene where Diana mention Ares make very little sense. I suppose the function is that the writing style is simpler than the other novelisation which is a good idea but still I think it's overly watered down and paraphrased.

This is a great novel based on the Wonder Woman movie that is coming out!! I loved it from start till finish, I seriously can't wait for the movie. My SHIP DIANA AND STEVE ARE LIFE...and my favorite quote from this book can be found on page 78, by Thomas Paine. And Wonder Woman was just EPIC!!!
