Clue by Michael McDowell

4.0

---

In my early teens I loved novelizations so I have read several and they are not usually very good. This one is the best one I have read. This is not surprising since gay horror novelist and Beetlejuice writer Michael McDowell wrote this particular novelization. And he had his work cut out for him. There are a lot of visual gags in this movie, humor that depends on comedic timing, lots of characters, and multiple endings. McDowell navigated this all amazingly, its a delight to read, it never strays far from the movie but captures its tone and humor perfectly, and it has an extra ending! Came across this at a Multnomah County Library Sale and I'm glad I grabbed it when I did.
