Who Censored Roger Rabbit?

De: Gary K. Wolf

Narrado por: L.J. Ganser

Private eye Eddie Valiant doesn't like Toons - those cartoon characters who live side-by-side with humans. Not the way they look, and especially not the way they talk: word-filled balloons come out of their mouths and then disintegrate, leaving dust all over his rug.

Eddie will work for a Toon if his cash supply is low enough. So he reluctantly agrees when Roger Rabbit, a Toon who plays straight man (or should that be straight rabbit) in the Baby Herman cartoon series, asks him to find out who's been trying - unsuccessfully - to buy his contract from the DeGreasy Brothers syndicate.

Then Rocco DeGreasy is murdered - and Roger is the prime suspect! The rabbit is also, as Eddie soon discovers, very, very dead. Who censored Roger Rabbit? And who shot Rocco DeGreasy? Was it Roger, or was it Rocco's hot-cha-cha girlfriend, Jessica Rabbit? Why had Jessica - a pretty steamy number for a Toon - ever married a dopey bunny in the first place? And why does everybody want Roger's battered old teakettle?

As Eddie combs L.A. from the executive suites of the DeGreasy Brothers to Sid Sleaze's porno comic studio, he uncovers art thefts, blackmail plots...and the cagiest killer he's ever faced.

Enjoyed a lot!

Very different from the movie, but pretty good in its own right. The narrator is great at doing every characters' voices. Dont lose focus though, there are many details in the story that its easy to quickly get lost.

a good time

I grew up loving the film, but the book was much better. hope you enjoy!

Way better than I expected

This book ended up being way better than I expected. The story is way way different than the movie but just as good in its own way. Great delivery too

A Surprise Hit

Don't expect to have this book be the same as the Robert Zemicks movie, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." This book is truly remarkable. Even though the narrator's performance good have been better, the story is what kept me coming back for more. Lol I don't know why the narrator thought it be a good idea to have Roger sound like Jimmy Stewart. Anyway, you won't see Dip, the Weasels or Judge Doom here. But you'll find a true nior story that will keep you guessing.

book vs movie

I got this on a whim when I heard about it as I didn't know there was a book for it much less 3. so I picked it up and.. I enjoyed it quite a lot.for the first bit here the movie and this are nothing alike other then some names and a few lines that were added to the movie from. which added a bit of enjoyment hearing were they came from on the parts XD I can't wait to dig into the other 2 soon just because but no clue how they well with it by the way the book ended
