Okay book. I picked this up from the library because one of the kids I work with likes the Ninja Turtles. He enjoyed looking at the pictures, especially the fight scenes.
This is a Step 2 book so the language used is very simple, it has a basic story, and is uses short sentences. The story was just okay. Because it had to be so simple, it was a little boring. Nothing was very developed, which is understandable, but still made for a rather dull read.
I was more intrigued by the giant bugs that show up than anything else in the story. They aren't even just bugs, they're weird bug-like mashups, one of which has an extra neck-face. They looked pretty creepy. I wanted to hear their backstory and what the heck they were (and why in the world they needed money from a bank in the first place?).
Just an okay book. Fun illustrations for fans of the Ninja Turtles.
Note: Just looked up the episode this is based on and apparently they are mutant bug henchmen, which already makes them way cooler than this book made them out to be. I understand the need for simplicity in a Step 2 book, but come on... MUTANT BUG HENCHMEN! How do you make MUTANT BUG HENCHMEN boring?

Well, the characters were Donnie. Donnie made a belt to help the Ninja Turtles fly and Mikey made something for himself. He made this like bug thing. It was a costume that was for that mission. So... Splinter teached Raph how to face his fears because he was afraid of the big bad bugs. People who like to watch Ninja Turtles should read this book.

Some cute illustrations that made me giggle and Mini-Me howl, but the story was generally meh.

This book was fun. It was easy to read but the simplicity didn't take from the story.

Really gross, zombie-like bug monsters. I wasn't expecting it to be so disturbing.
