This is the novelisation of the 2016 Disney version. My rating may be biased, but I loved the movie, and have fond memories of it. :)
I´m so proud of myself for finishing this book. Both of us go through so many things.The history of this book is amazing, i din´t really think it was going to like me so much.
Full adaptation of the movie. Description of the jungle is fun and Mowgli's emotions and internal conflicts are fun to read. A longer novelization for a children's/family movie than most novelizations I have read or seen.
Lovely use of language and imagery.
Surprisingly good
This is a little different from the movie, obviously, but not a lot. I don't know, my favorite parts were the designs inside and the cover, because they were beautiful. This is probably aimed at kids, so it makes sense for it to feel that way, doesn't it? I actually feel like this was great for kids, because there seemed to be a wealth of vocabulary words here. For me, I'm sticking with the movie--but I'll keep the book, because, well, pretty. ;)
This is an amazing adaption of one of the best classics of all time. It was so good that I couldn't read anything for 2 weeks that lived up to it so I just read it again. It has amazing imagery, vocabulary, (gargantuan was used 1 time too many though) and will most likely have you blubbering like a baby at the end.
Well. This book is a curious beast: a novelization of a movie that was itself based on a book. There is some fine writing here and there, but Kipling it is not. Basically, this book would be good for kids who loved the movie and want to relive it in their imaginations. Nothing wrong with that! It's a solid story. But, for those who are stronger readers, steer them to the original or else have them watch the movie again. Both are more complex and thus more satisfying than this book.(I got this as...
This story is called The Jungle Book, The Strength of the Wolf is the Pack by Scott Peterson. It is an adventure story about a man-cub named Mowgli. Mowgli is hunted by an evil tiger named Shere Khan. Mowgli tries to live a peaceful life with other humans, but it is too wild for him and too human for the wolves. Mowgli is the main character and he is a Human boy that was left behind in a cave when Shere Khan, the Tiger, killed his father, who was hunting the tiger. Now, Mowgli is being hunted by...
This was by far my least favourite novelization. I have no idea why because I really liked the movie but the book just didn't flow well for me- I guess that part of the problem was the language because it was slightly different than what I am used to. I did like the illustrations between chapters though and the cover is absolutely beautiful. The story is okay too, at least it was different from the original and not the carbon copy of it just made in CGI instead of animation. The story is okay, t...
Could be better it's not the same thing as the movie
This was an excellent remake of a classic story. The story was more intense, but it was very good. All characters and a few new ones tell a great story of Mowgli, the man-cub, and his struggles of where is home should be. Can't wait to see the movie.
I was disappointed when I realized that the book I had purchased was this one - an adaptation to the live action and CGI Disney film rather than the original novel updated with a new cover image to match the movie. Super bummed. But this book ended up surprising me. I read this book a loud to my 3 year old daughter at bedtime. Reading each night until she was asleep. I make sure to do this as a part of our routine because I feel that these longer books written for older audiences provide exposur...
Simply brought a smile to my face!I did watch the movie maybe twice and The jungle book story is a classic and an iconic one. This one isn’t the original one but the one based on the movie. Still I enjoyed it and I remembered my childhood.
This was a quick and fun read. It follows the live-action re-make pretty well, which was nice. I enjoyed it and will probably read it again.
I din’t like the end. That’s all I want to say.
In the book, The Jungle Book: The Strength Of The Wolf Is The Pack, there is a little boy named Mowgli. He was left in the jungle when his father was killed by a tiger named Shere Khan. Mowgli was adopted, loved, and raised by a wolf pack. Shere Khan did not like man in the jungle and demanded that Mowgli leave the wolf pack and go live in the man village. This started an adventure and many life lessons for Mowgli as he learned what was important to him, who his friends were, and where he fit in...
Well adapted and read .. Recommended as audio, family road trip win!
I think this book was fun, exiting, and easy (for me) to read.Each chapter leaves you wanting to read more! I always take a little peak at the next chapter.Mowgli was a baby that was raised by wolfs, so I like that they go into more detail about that than I remember in the movie “The jungle booK”. It really tells you how Mowgli is a “man cub” but also has part of the jungle in him. It really describes how he is always inventing and thinking. The only thing I didn’t like was that it felt like it
This book is wonderful. The classic story is so rich and lovable and it is told in such an easy-light-to-read. The authors did an awesome job. Once you start it, you cannot put it down.
