Summary: Rocky & Bullwinkle Masterpiece
Review: To begin with, if you are a R&B fan (as I am), you have to have this book. It is beautifully done physically and worth the price just for the plot synopsis of all the hundreds of episodes. The lack of five stars is due to the fact that it could have been so much better. There is remarkably little text in the book, which is disguised by very large type and great amounts of white space. I was able to read it all in little more than an hour. Then what text there is is devoted almost exclusively to the eccentricities of Jay Ward and his outlandish promotional stunts for the show. This is interesting but I would like to have learned more about the creation and development of the series. Why a moose and squirrel, for example? Then, as the author freely admits at the end there is almost nothing about the other denizens of the R&B world, Sherman & Peabody, Aesop, Dudley Do-Right, etc. Even the plot synopsis was lacking in that it was mainly just a recitation of the continuing plotline which was probably the least humorous thing about the episodes. It would have been better to follow the model used by the Simpsons episode guides (although admittedly, these came out AFTER this book was published) and give classic lines, contemporary references, things the viewer may have missed, etc. In conclusion, this book, like Prohibition, is a noble but failed experiment.

Summary: a bit of good nostalgia
Review: Yes it's me again. I have received my copy of the Rocky and Bullwinkle book and I have loadsa words to describe it: FABULOUS, MARVELLOUS, MAGNIFIQUE, WONDERFUL, FUNNY, WITTY and all that. The creators of our favourite cartoon heroes and villains obviously had a great time making the series, were well respected by young and old alike. The talent was outstanding. I particularly liked the comments of Matt Groening, (he of Simpsoms fame) and the respect that was well earned over the years. Louis Chunovic certainly did his homework well in producing this gem of a book. I thought it was a great tribute to Jay and all the crew who made these characters possible, and I wish the British were more aware of them. Rocky, Bullwinkle, Mr Peabody, Dudley, Aesop & son, Sherman, Cloyd and Gidney, as well as those no-goodniks Boris, Natasha and Fearless Leader (or Mr Big, as he's often known as) have gone down in the cartoon hall of fame along with Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry, and the Warner Bros characters. I say to you brothers and sisters, if you don't know of the moose and squirrel then where've you been the last 40 years? Cartoon lovers, little and big kids should rush themselves this book and WALLOW!!!! A great read and great fun!!! GO BUY! NOW!!! Bye bye for now.
