Amazing! Simply Amazing

Everyone should read this book. If you like horror, comedy, romance, westerns, it doesn't matter what you like because you'll LOVE this book. You'll Laugh. You'll Cry. You'll decide to join a Troma Cult. And who would blame you? After reading this book everyone else will be in the Troma Cult with you!

What a "Novelization" should be

This is a great re-telling of a story. They didn't just cash in on hype and release a book to buy too like Star Wars or any other movie does. In fact, this one comes 20 years after the movie was made. The book first starts off talking about the evil marketing of movie novelizations, and explains that this is not just the text version of the movie, its the unlimited-budget version Hollywood would never make. They've toyed with doing a big budget version before, but that would result in Troma being sellouts and they know that, and they'll never have the money to do it themself. Hollywood would water the story down, get rid of the creator himself, and just piss off the fans. Most of what I'm saying is rephrasing from the first part of the book, but check it out, its hilarious, full of relevant social commentary (for real, just as south park is but a different flavor), and is just a great read. Even if you've seen the movie, you've only seen what they could afford to make into a movie. This is the real, whole story (thought of 20 years after it was filmed).

Finally!!!!!!

This book is the most hilarious thing I have read in years. Kaufman and Jahnke have done a brilliant job in creating an extremely entertaining narrative starring the greatest superhero EVER.
