Summary: It's not the movie, but just as good
Comment: I first saw the movie based on this book, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," in 1988. I loved it, and after many repeat video viewings it became my No. 1 favorite movie of all time, and remains so to this day. I still catch new jokes everytime I watch (now on DVD).

Well, I finally decided to read this book. One thing's for sure, It's Not the Movie. Eddie Valiant, Roger, Jessica and Baby Herman are still here, but only their basic character traits (Eddie's alcoholism, Jessica's buxomness) are the same. The movie-makers adapted just one line of dialogue for the movie (Baby Herman's "I've got a 50-year-old lust and a 3-year-old dinky").

That's where the similarities end. This book deals with comic strip actors, not cartoon actors. When the 'toons speak, they make word balloons that very creatively reflect their emotions, and can be manipulated physically as well. Additional characters include a comic strip photographer, brother owners of a cartoon syndicate, a porn-cartoon syndicate owner, and a ton of colorful cameos.

The book touches more on the human/'toon discrimination hinted at in the movie, but not much. Rather, it's just a good ol' fashioned Sam Spade-esque simile-rich read that enthralled me page by page. Warning: those familiar with the simple, sweet Roger from the movie may be a little shocked by the ending!

Summary: Who Censored Roger Rabbit? Not me!
Comment: This is a truly excellent book. It's among one of the first mysteries I've read and it is a work of art, so to speak. At first it was hard to differentiate the book Roger from the movie Roger, because the book Roger changes clothes and speaks in word balloons, like a comic book. In fact, that's the mystery in the tale. Someone killed an art syndicate's brother who handled strips like Hagar, Blondie, and the Wizard of Id. It's up to Eddie Valiant, the hero, to figure out whodunnit. It's an excellent book and I reccommend it to any fan of Roger Rabbit.

Summary: Who changed Roger Rabbit?
Comment: I Loved the movie. I also adored the book. so if i ever met the person who adapted it to screenplay i dont know weather I'd shake his hand or punch his lights out!
the book is a GREAT mistery, there's no way to predict the ending, it will keep you turning pages, i highly reccomend it to anyone who has seen and enjoyed the movie.
