A Marvelous Addition.
So, suffice it to say, I’m a Roger Rabbit fanatic. Far beyond enjoying the 1988 movie, I’ve consumed all that exists in the world. Podcasts, YouTube videos, and yes, all 4 (now) of Gary K. Wolf’s Roger Rabbit books.
This new one, easily, is a must read if you're a fan of any caliber. A page-turner if ever I held one. At its heart, it's a great, off-beat crime drama with tons of bonkers humor. But more than that, it's a love letter to one of the most alluring and enduring characters ever created, Jessica Rabbit. What we had in the movie, a sultry lounge singer who just happened to be drawn a certain way, we now have a fully-fledged female hero. You don't get the Jessica you see in the movie, you get to understand why she is and see her growth into that character.
To say I loved it, is an understatement. The only reason, I've stopped to write this review is so I can download the other three books and read all four, all over again.
If you see this, thank you Gary. Thank you so much.
