Pretty much what it says on the tin - this younger-reader book re-tells the origin stories of the Avengers (at least the ones who had solo films) before delving about halfway into the 2012 Avengers film. Iron Man gets the most pages (considering there were two movies to cover, no surprise) with Captain America and Thor’s stories reviewed pretty well. The Hulk gets short shrift — but considering the audience, I guess that’s not a surprise; they wouldn’t be as interested in Bruce’s interior struggles. The narrative also skips over the romantic elements of the films - Peggy and Pepper get barely a mention.
The narration was entertaining — I’ve listened to several Marvel film adaptations read by Tom Taylorson and he does good work with the character voices.

I got this CD from the children's area of my library. It was so mus\ch fun. Starting out with Captain America then The Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and his family situation, Nick Fury, Agent Coleson, The black widow... As the story was expertly read, I could conger up in my mind scenes from the movies. It was delightful. This CD is not just for children.

These are fun quick audiobooks of each Marvel movie. What's great is I can picture the scenes from the movies as it is being read. Just a nice little refresher and fun to listen to.
