 Chapter Book Based on the Movie May 23, 2006
8 out of 9 found this review helpful
"My name's Doc Hudson. Folks round here say that every car has a story. I don't know if that's so, but I can tell you this: I've got one heck of a story for you! Oh, I know that you may not believe that one car could get itself in a world of trouble and turn a whole town on its ear. But I'm here to tell you how one car did!"
Lightning McQueen is a hotshot race car who only cares about winning. When he suddenly find himself in the sleepy old town of Radiator Springs, will he be able to accept life in the slow lane?
Faster Than Fast is 79-page chapter book told from the perspective of Doc Hudson, and features black and white sketches throughout.
My son found this book very engaging, asking my husband and I to read him a chapter a night. He enjoys looking at the pictures, too.
Personally, I think the colloquialisms of Doc Hudson takes away from the plot. Not only that, it's not exactly proper language for beginner readers so it could prove difficult for some youngsters to "get" what's going on in the story at times.
It's a shame this book was released before the movie, because now we all know what will happen before we hit the theaters.
For the price, though, you really can't beat this book based on the Disney/Pixar film Cars.

You all know that in the movie, Lightning McQueen learns that life is not all about being first all the time, it's about "everyone coming together and doing the best they can," according to The King. Anyway, this special storybook, as told by Doc Hudson (isn't that cool?), tells the same story in his own words. I found it at Wal-Mart and now I have it in my own home since I have fallen in love with it, especially the black-and-white drawings of the cars. How unique is that? I sure hope parents' children learn something from this very special story of what it means to be a true winner. You know I would!
