This was an okay adaptation of My Little Pony: The Movie. I liked the graphic novel format, but adapting a full-length movie into a graphic novel is a difficult task, one that is not undertaken easily. For me, this adaptation just didn't work. The dialogue was very choppy and the scenes jumped a lot without explaining things fully. In order to read this, it's best to have already seen the movie.
Also, it was cool that some of the songs were included, but the fact that they couldn't include the entire song was a bit grading for me. The lyrics jumped and skipped. I almost wished they just hadn't included the song at all or just did a line or two instead of butchering them. (I have the MLP Movie soundtrack and love it, so I was deeply disappointed that I couldn't sing along to the book.) Reading the songs in the book felt like listening to a CD skip, you just can't get the full experience and are better off just moving on to the next track.
Overall, this is an okay book. I recommend having seen the movie before giving this a try. Maybe good for kids who are starting to get into graphic novels, although the pages are pretty busy and the speech bubbles get a little muddled in their placement, making it difficult to read. Good for My Little Pony fans, but I like the other MLP graphic novel series better.
