The Iron Woman is quite a lovely book that has some very interesting and fantastic characters - one of which being the beloved Iron Man (Or known in the cinematic industry as The Iron Giant).

This is a children's book that has a core message of the importance of being eco-friendly, to care for your environment and to be responsible for your own waste, be it bin rubbish or toxic waste.

I would have loved to read this when I was in primary school as a pre-teen and would urge anyone around that age to give this a go.

When I started this book I thought it would be a 5 star review but as I got to around the half way mark I found myself think what. The. Actual. F***. On nearly every other page. It was sexist (the world collapses when men aren’t around to look after things?!?!?!?!?), Iron Woman is constantly angry and can’t see logic or reason and don’t get me started on space-bat-angel-dragon or Spider-cloud. Like what hardcore drugs was Ted Hughes on when writing this?!?!

Awfully written, highly confusing. Nowhere near as good as the Iron Man.
