Summary
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.

Entertaining book - excellent narration
Really enjoyed this book, and appreciated the excellent narration - just the right amount of “hard boiled” noir while reading the crazy story :-)

original
you need to know your cartoon characters as a lot of the time it's just hints. it's slow Reading but quite enjoyable. I didn't realize that this is the first book in this series.

Different from the movie
I knew going into this that the film and original story deviated heavily from each other with this being aimed at an older audience
Enjoyable mystery story with a unique fantastical twist would recommend

Witty, entertaining, and who did do it?
We were not sure about this story when we started to listen to it. It turned out to be very entertaining. If you want to listen to a story that is very not main stream then this is it. If you think your can hear some Donald Trump mannerisms in some of the characters, it just adds to the enjoyment.

Surprised how good this was!
In the style of Raymond Chandler, the original story is much better than the film. Great narration and good murder mystery arc. Would recommend!

Pleasantly surprised
Like most people these days, I was more familiar with the film based on this book rather than the book itself. You can definitely see the inspiration for the film but this is a much more interesting story in my opinion. The narrator does a great job voicing Eddie and his interior monologue. A great detective mystery with an interesting twist. Did not see the ending coming I must admit.
