Incredibles 2: A Real Stretch: An Elastigirl Prequel Story (Disney Pixar Incredibles 2) Kindle Edition

It’s 4 CD’s and perfect for long car rides. My son enjoys that this story happened before the The Incredibles became The Incredibles.

Love it

Comparisons are a terrible thing. The book is NOT like the movies. I am a big fan of the LOTR trilogy and the Hobbit. However, the movies were disappointing when compared to the books because of expectations, but very enjoyable as action/adventure movies in their iwn right. In a similar vein except the movies came first with the Incredibles 2 book coming afterwards. The book does not meet expectations when compared to the movies. However, setting aside those expectations the author did a very admirable job in writing the book AND gave some wonderful insights into the characters lives not provided in the movies. It was not a great work of writing, but very interesting and entertaining which to me what novels should be. Of course, this is just my opinion.

My niece loved this!

Granddaughter loved it

We read this to our daughter before she could read it to herself. We loved the movies and this book is of the same content, tone, and lessons. The primary lesson is you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Understand people, don't make snap judgements, etc. It's so appropriate in today's age. Came here to see if more books were produced and realized I should leave a review of this one to encourage such things (HINT HINT DISNEY!). Looking for more books by this author now.

My daughter LOVES this book. We saw the movie last week, and then this book arrived from Disney in exchange for an honest review, so perfect timing :) As a burgeoning reader, anything that captivates her is a win in my book, and I think it's a neat idea to explore more of the characters' backstories. Looking forward to sharing with some of our fellow Incredibles fans/friends when she's done!

I love the first Incredibles movie and am mostly excited for the sequel. I had seen this book around on Amazon and was kind of interested in it, though I wasn't exactly at the point where I wanted to buy it. But I had had to wait for someone in a store and I happened to be in the book section, this was something I at least had mild interest in so I decided to pick it up to read the first few pages. And the book came home with me. (Oh like that doesn't happen to you!)I was expecting to like this book, I didn't quite think I would love it or anything, but I at least wanted to enjoy it. But this was not a good read. There were a lot of issues I had with it, so here we go.One. There's no real plot in this book, nothing really happens in it. We follow Elastigirl through her everyday life, and that's about it. There's not really a specific bad guy for her to take down, there's no active sign that anything particularly evil is happening in the city, and it's all incredibly boring. If you want a book to help your kids fall asleep at bedtime, this should do it.Two. This book lacks everything good about the Incredibles. The movie had action, humor, style, a solid story, and an awesome bad guy. But none of that is in this book, and it was missed to say the least. If it didn't say Incredibles on the cover you probably wouldn't even know this was supposed to be a tie-in to it.Three. The characters are so off in this book, Elastigirl was amazing in the movie, strong, confident, capable and ready for anything. Here she doesn't really do much, she does what she's told and doesn't have any of the qualities that made me love her in the movie. And even Mr. Incredible and Frozone are kind of weak compared to their movie versions.Four. Did I mention how boring this book is? Yes? Well here its worth saying again, because God this book was dull. I was at about page 146 (the book is not that long at 239 pages) when it hit me that nothing of any importance had actually happened yet. And that did not instill me with confidence for the rest of the book.There were a few good things, the few short parts where Elastigirl and Mr. Incredible met each other as Helen and Bob, I liked those and when they realize who they are as Supers at the end. Also there were some funny parts that I really enjoyed, if only there had been more of them.I know this book is aimed at younger kids, and I didn't expect it to be the most amazing book I've read this year or anything, but I at least expected it to be halfway decent. I don't think kids are going to like this novel any more than I did, I know there are a lot of good and even great middle grade books out there, and I really wanted this to be one of them. But this was one of the worst tie-ins I've ever read, middle grade or otherwise, I don't recommended it.
