Customer Reviews

Loved it

I have to disagree with a lot of the people who say this book is bad. To me it felt like a modern story told with a older Captain America (Tales of Suspense) style. It's engaging and a quick read. Plus, the plot is straight forward and easy to follow. This is one of those books that gives your brain a rest at the end of a long work day and it's still exciting. I'd recommend it highly.

best book eaver.

Captain America an old hero for a new generation.

I enjoyed reading Captain America comics as a kid now I can relive the thrill in the novels. Captain America has always stood for the things that make this county great. He may be fictitious but the evil he fights is real in our world. This book can be enjoyed by everyone since it covers the origin of the Captain and his friendship with the Falcon. It's fun, easy reading and I would recommend it with the other Marvel novels in print. It's good for introducing young readers to Marvel character and for us comic lovers to be kids again.

A true classic tale of Good vs. Evil

If you're ever feeling for an easy, light read that is filled with action and suspense, this is the one. This book shows us that today, in a world ruled by corruption and hate, there still is someone great to look up to, Captain America. The way he is presented in the novel makes him look like a God. I would definaltely recommend this book to anyone looking for a fast-paced, new-aged fairytale.

Captain America and the Dream

Isabella and Ingersoll have shown the motivations for Cap in all his glory and given us another team-up with the Falcon to boot. Great characterization, wonderful secondary characters such as Colin Maxwell. They also give more than one side of the militia story, showing the disenfranchised and the truly dangerous. Last, but by no means least, a moving tribute to Mark Gruenwald, long-time writer of the Cap comic, who passed away recently. The best of the Marvel novels so far, just ahead of Christopher Golden's X-Men trilogy.
