Good book to read
I enjoyed this so much and I love the way in which a once feared Iron Man and an annoyance to the public became their saving grace against the space bat angel. I love how the book changes perceptions of the key characters throughout especially the space bat angel. By the end of the boy you start to feel sorry for the creature.
I liked the illustrations- they were nice in their simplicity. I really liked the story and it felt like something that I'd write.
I would recommend this book.
The main character. Iron man. I
I really liked this book. We read it at school but I wanted to read it again. My favourite character is the space bat angel dragon because he is gigantic. It said in the book that his eyes are as big as Switzerland. I would definitely recommend that other people read it.

I liked this book because he saved the world but nobody liked him until he did.
I would recommend this book to my friend's
This book was unique because it had a lot of characters that were all imaginary.
Starts superbly with a clanking iron giant toppling from a cliff a d lying smashed on the rocks below. Then his various parts get up and search for each other. Hughes has never writen more complyingly.
My favourite part was chapter 5 called the iron man’s challenge
Love it!
I absolutely love it so much I like the part when a family have a picnic and they run away because the Iron man was escaping

Fiction. Really enjoyable inspirational story that my dad had also read when he was a child
I liked learning the definitions of all the new descriptive words used in this book. It has helped my vocabulary.
Great book, some lovely vocab.
I liked this book as it kept me really interested to find out what would happen.
i thou ght this bok was good but there wasnt much going on and it was a very small book.
It was quite short but I loved the battle with the space bat angel dragon!
I enjoyed reading about an iron man changing his ways to help the people on the earth. I liked Hogarth's character, he seemed to be a very sensible and kind boy.
It was funny when the Iron Man fell off a cliff and broke all his parts and he had to put his head back on again!
I love the detail in the book
And all the smilies.
I liked it when he fell down the cliff because his hand started moving and then walked away and picked up and eye.
I liked this book because it had a funny ending. The best thing about this book was that the iron man fell down a cliff at the start and it was quite funny.
I didn't get into this story, I wouldn't recommend it. My opinion: my favourite part of the story was the start because it was interesting, the rest of the book was more action and I didn't understand it and it was a bit boyish.
Great book.
