About this ebook
Outcasts from society, the X-MEN are genetic mutants, born with superhuman powers, who harness their special abilities for the greater good. But the human race they fight to protect rejects and fears—even hates—them.
Not all mutants seek to protect mankind. One terrorist group—led by the supremely powerful Magneto—seeks to strike first. Battling against prejudice and agents of intolerance, the X-MEN must establish a peaceful coexistence between mutant and mankind or they will surely perish . . .

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this novelization years ago, right after the movie came out. I loved the film - it was one of the first films I saw more than once in the theatre. This novelization follows the film fairly well except for one, glaring, cringe-inducing issue: Wolverine has four claws on each hand instead of three. Now, I get that the book was written before the film, probably well before, but Wolverine has been a staple of the comics for decades. Every time he "popped his claws," one from each knuckle, it made me grind my teeth because it was wrong. Other than that, the book was fast-paced, with a little extra expansion on what characters were thinking and feeling during pivotal parts of the movie.If the claws don't annoy the crap out of you, as they did me, this book was a decent read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book keeps pretty close to the movie.It's well written and entertaining.
