I must have seen this movie at least ten times (it was one of my children's favorites), but when we rewatched it yesterday evening I as usual noticed another Easter egg that I hadn't spotted before.

Okay, Roger Rabbit fans: WITHOUT checking Google or Netflix, where does Eddie Valiant hang his hat at the office? You're only shown it for a second, but there's no reasonable doubt...

Neither this nor the original novel are at any libraries near me, ugh. Anyways please know I am not being hyperbolic when I say that this is one of a grand total of like three movies I have finished watching in the past two years (the others being A Muppet Christmas Carol, duh, and It's a Wonderful Life, which I watched three nights in a row in a shining display of mental well-being) and instantly became a favorite. Eddie Valiant I love you so much.

In the days before VCRs, the novelisation was the only way to re-experience the film, and this is a competent job, neither adding much to or subtracting much from the script.

Old school, moms put me on, its was cool.

I read this book because I love the movie, but I was shocked to find how different they are. Despite the differences, this book is by far one of the funniest and most experimental things I've ever read. I was fascinated and inspired to try and write similarly. There's something so whimsical and fun about the entire thing despite its crude humor. The ending was a twist I did not see coming and I immediately had to tell all my nonreading friends about it.

Novelization of the movie. It's a little disappointing as it's almost a straight up scene for scene adaptation of the movie. Not really any extra stuff.

[Zacharie]

I don't particularly care for the last fourth of the book. But it was a fun read for a fair bit of the book!

[Michelle Llewellyn]

The literary quality of this book only rates two stars for the run-on sentences, point-of-view shifts throughout the narration and overuse of metaphors but that's to be expected. Movie tie-in paperbacks aren't exactly James Joyce. The movie, on the other hand, remains a classic in terms of visual storytelling.
Read this book and just try NOT hearing all the actors' voices in your head. When you've seen this movie as many times as I have, it's impossible. A quick, fun read, if you can get past all the wordy, overly descriptive narration.

Welll... i havent actually read the book, but i have seen the movie a million times as it is my favorite movie of all time. As they say the book is often better than the movie, so i'm guessing this book is awesomee.

[Cheyenne]

Definitely a classic. This was one of my brother's favorite movies, which is why I have an old copy of the book in my possession. Minus the read-along cassette. The movie is better but the movie came first.

I enjoyed reading this wacky tale of mystery and mayhem. This book captured my childlike side and fed my love of wackiness and humor. It took me back t when I first saw the movie. This was cute and funny.

[Todd Stone]

good.

A proper gum shoe novel with a twist. It's not the movie. Don't expect it to be. But it's an engaging read from start to finish
