[Kate McGinty aka Caryn Caldwell · Rating 4 out of 5]

An introduction to The Flash, with appearances from Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, and Martian Manhunter, wherein the Justice League members work together to send a group of escaped super-villains back to jail.

The copious action, colorful illustrations, and figurative language are reminiscent of many comic books, and the Justice League members' combined efforts model teamwork and proactivity.

What a great book

[Reepacheep · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was browsing my library's internet catalog when I came across this title and decided to read it. Evidently that decision was based entirely on the title and the thumbnail of the cover and not actually reading the description--I didn't realize this was book for early readers. [sigh]

The book starts with a quick [heh] introduction of Barry Allen as the Flash, brings in the Justice League, followed by a few pages of fighting villains.

While it wasn't the comic book/graphic novel I was expecting, it's still ok.

This book describes The Flash and how he became a super hero. He joins up with the rest of the Justice League to take down the Villains that escaped from jail. I definitely see this as being appealing to young readers that are interested in action and super heroes.

This is a nice introduction of the Flash for children. It's a reader, so there's not much of interest for adults here.
