By the numbers novelization
I’ve been grabbing up all the new novels Marvel has been releasing to tie-in with Avengers Infinity Saga films. Marvel does a crap job of publicizing them so it’s usually luck that I find them. This popped up after I reviewed Titan Consumed. Essentially, this is a buy-the-numbers novelization of the Avengers Infinity War film, with some sections of pencil sketch drawing sprinkled throughout of scenes from the film (see second pic).Unlike the “Infinity War: The Heroes' Journey”, which provided new scenes (where Black Widow ended up after she switched teams in Civil War) and expanded on those from the film, this doesn’t provide much that is “new.” Mostly, the new material is hearing the inner thoughts of some of the characters during the events of the films. In particular, I enjoyed getting a peek into Wanda’s thoughts during her time with Vision before the Black Order attacks. This provided some much-needed emotional grounding for the romance that didn’t get enough in the film. Beyond that, we get a lot more of Tony Stark’s thoughts. While I understand he’s one of Marvel’s most popular characters, hearing his thoughts didn’t reveal anything that fans didn’t already know or guess from how RDJ plays the character. I would have much preferred knowing what was on Mantis’ mind – a character who has almost no development.The illustrations are excellent but are grouped in bunches and oddly spaced through the book. One thing I found annoying, though I see why they did it, is that the page numbers count backwards. Countdown to Infinity, as it were. A little gimmicky for me.Overall, this is a solid novelization that doesn’t have any surprises but is an excellent recap.

A must read.
If you love Marvel or just enjoy reading a good story, you HAVE to get this book. This book gives you so much more insight to what the characters are thinking. I don't want to say much and spoil things, but this is one of those books that you will regret not reading.

Good refresher before Endgame.
The book follows the script but I was hoping for more insight into the characters and maybe some of the deleted scenes. It needed to be fleshed out a bit more. The illustrations were well done.

A Good Novelization Of Avengers: IW Film
Liza Palmer’s Avengers: Destiny Arrives (2019) is the novelization of the Avengers: Infinity War movie. In case you haven’t seen the movie, I’ll give you a brief summary right now. Thanos, the man behind all of the Avenger’s woes finally reveals himself as he hunts down the infinity stones. Once he has all the stones, he will use them to eradicate half of the population in the universe, this is his solution to the limited resource problem in all of existence.I know what yo’re asking yourself. If you already saw the movie, why should I read the book? I’ll tell you: because the book gives greater detail as to what happened in the movie. The highs are higher and the lows are lower. The book creates more depth to the decisions and losses the characters in the movie experience. Palmer also gives die-hard fans a little bit of trivia, she gives details that might have been cut out of the final version of the movie.Overall, If you enjoyed the movie, I recommend you read this book. The actors in the movie did a fantastic job in conveying the emotions their characters endured, but the book gives more weight to their experiences. Trust me, give this book a shot. You won’t be disappointed.

Loved it
This book is just gorgeous to look at. The story is well written and it was fun to read with my son.What makes this book special to me are the illustrations throughout the book and the fact that the pages count down instead of up. The picture of Thanos is pretty cool on the cover as well, which is hidden under the slip cover.Perfect if you are an avengers fan and want to add something cool to your collection.

Schöne Idee, tolle Bilder, mittelmäßig geschrieben
Das Buch wurde auf den sozialen Medien, Tumblr Instagram und Pintrest ziemlich gefeiert. Als Die-Hard Marvel Stan hab ich mir die Produktbeschreibung angesehen und einige andere Fans befragt, das hat mich überzeigt.Die Idee des Buches ist simpel. Avengers: Infinity War wird in Romanform erzählt und umrahmt von mehreren schwarz weiß Bildern im Comic Stil die zum Teil 1:1 Standbildern aus dem Film entsprechen oder zu Mash-Ups zusammen gezogen wurden und wie ein Poster wirken auf dem etwas zu viel Content ist.Alles in allem ein nettes Buch und für besonders junge Leser bestimmt ein Gewinn. Ich blättere gerne darin, allerdings musste ich beim lesen feststellen, dass der Text aus nicht viel mehr als dem Drehbuch und ein paar kurzen Füllsätzen besteht. Das hätte auch ein englisch sprachiger Laie oder ein Teenager mit wenig Schreiberfahrung besser gekonnt. Der POV ist nicht konstant, selbst in Szenen an denen er im Film offensichtlich an eine Figur gebunden ist. Die Füllsätze, die versuchen dem Ganzen mehr Tiefe zu geben sind geradezu dilletantisch simpel und entsprechen der Formel: "Er sah dabei sehr ernst aus." oder "Dann stieg er auf einen Ast und schaute nach rechts."Trotzdem muss ich dem Buch zu Gute halten, dass es das Drehbuch (zumindest die Sprechakte) beinahe 100% korrekt wiedergibt.Nur 3 von 5 Sternen, da man aus dem ergänzenden Text mehr hätte machen können, die Bilder zum Teil unscharf bzw verzerrt sind und der Preis für die Gesamtleistung doch schätzungsweise 3-4 Euro zu teuer ist.
