Title: Captain America The Winter Soldier (book of the film)
Adapted by: Allison lowenstein and Tomas Palacios
Genre: science fiction

This is an awesome book to read because the author used nice descriptive language when writing this story. Because of this I could use the words to make pictures in my head. A short explanation about this book is talking about how well Steve Rogers was fitting in to the 201st century until a villan named the winter soldier comes in to battle Captain America.

The main characters are Steve Rogers ( AKA Captain America), Natasha Romanoff (AKA Black Widow), Sam Wilson (AKA falcon), Agent Rumlow , Nick Furry (AKA director of S.H.E.I.L.D.)
and last of all THE WINTER SOLDIER.

I recommend to you to either read the book for your self or rent it on DVD .
