Well, it's a movie book. And it's a franchise book. So my expectations going into it were rather low. The only reason I was reading this book was to preview it for my son. He wanted to read it. Unfortunately it is not appropriate for him. The robots and the story are right up his alley but the language and adult subject matter are too mature for him. My guess is that the book author felt that he could get away with more in the book than they will allow in the movie (in order to retain a PG-13 rating).

I won't give away any of the plot since the movie isn't even out yet! Might be interesting as a movie but it also might just be more of the same previous two Transformer movies.
