Customer Reviews

A really good book!

The Gauntlet was great. It was my favorite Justice League book.

A fun audiobook for a mom

As the mother of 3 boys, I have listened to all the justice league audiobooks while on vacation. Just when I thought I could not stand another blast of green energy, I heard this tape! There was actually a plot, character development, and an interesting story! The fact that it was about Wonder Woman, (my favorite justice leaguer) was a plus. Let's have more audiobooks about Justice League that are as well written. Please, as a parent, I beg you.

I'd like to be in the "Louise Simonson Fan Club"

This is an intriguing story of present-time coupled with flashbacks. I've read a lot of Louise Simonson's work and find her to be one of the best in the business. This book is fantastic to read to your kids. The story is exciting and suspenseful.

Louise Simonson Shines as a Writer

As a Wonder Woman fan I thought I'd buy this book just to add to my collection of 'All Things Wonder'. Little did I know that I would enjoy this book as much as the comic itself. Comic book writer Louise Simonson weaves a story that really captures the imagination and runs with it. Not only did Ms. Simonson manage to stay true to the Justice League cartoon characterizations, but she set the stage for a very compelling adventure that honestly made you want to read more. Granted 'The Gauntlet' is a short book that can be read in one sitting and is written to a child level of understanding, that doesn't take away from the level of 'fun' and 'excitement' this book produces as Ms. Simonson's years of experience definately comes through. The story is of Wonder Woman's struggle to stop the evil Darkseid from destroying the Justice League and stealing her identity. Young people will love the adventure. Older comic book fans will enjoy the characterization. Either way, Justice League: The Gauntlet is a book everyone can enjoy.
