A review by didyousaybooks
E.T. l'extra-terrestre by William Kotzwinkle

2.0

I want to say if you liked the movie, you'll enjoy the book.
You get povs of all the characters, including E.T. who speaks to vegetables (and they speak back ;)

It's a little bit ridiculous and fun.

Except twice the mother makes rape comments that felt super weird and out of place. She says to her two boys who were making a little bit of mischief with their little sister "what you were doing here? I hope you weren't raping your sister?!" Like WTF?
I don't know if it comes from the french translation but still...that's a very weird joke/comment for a mother to make, no?
