Richie Rich

Summary: A Good Rich Story
Review: I read the book Richie Rich by Todd Strasser. This book was really fun to read. It wasn't confusing like other books. There weren't too many hard words. I gave this book four stars because it was a funny book and there weren't too many dull spots. I would recommend this book to all kinds of readers.

Summary: a good adaptation of the movie
Review: This movie is a novelization of the movie starring Macaulay Culkin. The movie has a good plot and the novelization offers a few hours of enjoyable reading.

However, I could not get not get used to the character changes. The scientist on the Rich estate is changed to an overeating endomorph. Richie's girlfriend is given a Polish surname and moved to a single-parent home. Nor did I like the cryptic advertising for McDonald's, Radio Shack, and a few other corporations.

However, these defects are not the fault of Strasser. On the contrary, Strasser does a fine job.

You might find it interesting to compare this novelization with the one by Horowitz (0590250868). Why one publisher would commission two novelizations of one movie is a mystery, but it doubles our reading pleasure.
