Product Description
The Iron Woman has come to take revenge on mankind. Full of the power and fantastic imagination of his book "The Iron Man", this sequel from the late Poet Laureate is a cry against the relentless pollution of the Earth's waterways through the dumping of industrial waste.

Format:Paperback
It has a nice environmental message for the younger generation but it lacks the humour and warmth of the first book.
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed the quiet when I read the iron Man to my class when I was teaching. I hoped this would be a good book for my grandaughter to read to her class on her teaching practice but thought the begimming was a little frightening for he younger class. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this to my husband who is in hospital.
Format:Paperback
I bought this with The Iron Man and the Iron Giant (DVD). I had already seen the DVD so I knew it was good and the book didn't disappoint. Can't say the same for this though.
I thought the Iron Woman was just a sequel but I didn't like it at all. I read it to my 8 year old son and it was just weird. He didn't really get it and I thought the way it was written (Ted Hughes knows how to write!!)could cause nightmares. It was a bit too green in a sort of militant eco-warrior way.
I would recommend you read it yourself before you give it to a pre teen.
