Me faltó más Marceline y más ilustraciones, pero tenemos una historia por personaje.
Los Gunter siguen dominando Ooo!!!

[Judy Wollin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finn and Jake are in a cemetery and invited to dinner by skeletons and ghosts. Jake’s starving but Finn is nervous about what and who will be on the menu.
Finn and Jake are practising their moves, kicks and chops, but the Ice King is spying on them. What does he want?
A fast paced read based on cartoon characters.
Recommended for 10+, especially kids who enjoy cartoons and are reluctant to read books.

Love the dialogue in this book. 5 stories from the Land of Ooo that fans of the show will enjoy. I suspect anyone who didn't know the show would find this to be a very strange book. The strangeness is all part of its charm.

I just can't get enough of Adventure Time!

It's interesting to see how Adventure Time translates into beginning chapter books, but I think it works. I think part of the major appeal that has driven the popularity of the show, comics, etc. is that it appeals on some level to both children and adults, but something like this, unlike the comics and show, is really meant for kids in grades 1-3.

Some of the quirky humor that might appeal more to adults than kids was still present here, so it would still be something that both age groups could experience and enjoy together, however, for an adult alone this is probably something only the die-hardiest fans would be interested in. (Or librarians who read everything).

2 stars for "disappointing." It wasn't bad, but it lacked all the random absurdity, the jokes for adults, the underlying horror of the setting, the stakes, and movement of Finn and Jake's stories forward, so was just a silly kids' book set in Ooo. Recommended for kids in second grade who like Adventure Time. Maybe first grade if they are good readers, or younger if someone reads it to them.

Really cute mini stories that aren’t in the show! 💙🍎🐾

I have a lot of goodwill toward Adventure Time, but this was a little too much. All of the goofy lingo and weird antics work really well in visual media, like the TV show and the comic book series, but seeing it almost exclusively written made it seem really lame. I am much more likely to point a kid to the comic books than to this book.

I want more Marcelline! I want more LSP!

Oh my Glob, LSP is the lumpiest ever! I can't resist her lumps!

This can be better with more pics... they started as a visual media. So I was expecting a pic in every page or so... Must be cute.

Oh, I want Fionna too!

A great little book for young fans of Adventure Time to ease into reading chapter books, check out more on my blog, Reading Rainstorm!

I feel illiterate saying so, but where are the pictures? The franchise depends upon its style as much as it does, on its content, and it's hard to sit through one without the other.

Daft and sleight but hugely good fun.

[Jana Eichhorn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ok, it's totally dorky. But I love Adventure Time, and I laughed out loud a few times. No shame.

[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute AT book. Definitely more on the "silly" side of the show, and that's just fine.
