Description

Eddie Valiant is a tough private detective in Los Angeles and he'll handle anything--if you're human. If you're a Toon, that's another story. Eddie 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, reluctantly, he 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!

Exploring the World of Toons

In Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, Gary Wolf creates a unique world where cartoon characters (Toons) and humans coexist. This book encourages us to explore our imagination and see the world from a different perspective.

The Mystery Element

The book is not just about Toons and humans. It's a detective story at its core. Wolf weaves a complex mystery that keeps you guessing till the end. If you love a good whodunit, you should definitely check this out.

The Power of Humor

Wolf uses humor as a powerful tool in his storytelling. Despite the serious themes, the book is filled with comedic moments that will make you laugh out loud. It's a great reminder of how humor can lighten even the darkest situations.

The Art of Character Development

Wolf's characters are well-developed and multi-dimensional. From the protagonist, Eddie Valiant, to the Toon, Roger Rabbit, each character has their own unique personality and quirks. This book is a great study in character development.

The Theme of Prejudice

Who Censored Roger Rabbit? also tackles the theme of prejudice. The Toons are often treated as second-class citizens, mirroring real-world issues. It's a thought-provoking look into how society treats those who are different.
