Re: ~BOOK CLUB MAY DISCUSSION: Who Censored Roger Rabbit~

I am terrible at mysteries and generally don't figure things out until the end.

I don't think I have ever successfully cracked a mystery on my own. It's ok though, I like the reveal! (I don't read many mystery novels, either.)

Do you feel the Toons avoided racism from the author's point of view, or the characters? Because I think there was clearly a lot of racism going on in the story, but it was portrayed as a negative thing. It was actually pretty well-written IMO.

Also I agree with much of your overall assessment. :) Except I didn't guess the teakettle was magic until the subject of magic was brought up in the last quarter or so of the book, so good job on that!

Oh I love the reveals! I don't read many mysteries either, though I do enjoy JK Rowling writes Robert Galbraith. Those books are entertaining.

I think that the racism was avoided as being blacks vs whites and instead it was Toons vs humans and it was definitely segregated.

I thought there was something suspicious about the magic lamp, especially when they mentioned Persian writing.

I did like this book overall and thought it was a good choice for the book club. There wasn't anything really triggering, there's a lot of discussion on it but it was still a fairly short read. (I liked Neal Stephenson's Seveneves but the book is something like 800+ pages and ridiculously dense)

I guess maybe "racism" isn't the right word...speciesism? is that a thing?

It was indicated (if not confirmed) that Toons and humans couldn't interbreed, so I guess they'd be different species. Still, it gave me a similar vibe to historic racism, though not portrayed as being extremely serious.

I kinda think it was intentional, and there's not necessarily a real-world parallel for Toons. Just a good bit of worldbuilding.

It definitely gave me the same vibe as historic racism.

I really liked the worldbuilding in the book where the author didn't just throw random facts at you, you slowly learned about the world as the novel went on.

Definitely agreed!

Ugh forgot to log in above.

I have to say the book was a definitely enjoyable and I'd recommend it for another book club read. It lends itself for discussions quite easily.

[diet_poison]

Replied above. :) I love your comment about the world being demonstrated/something you learn as you go, rather than being overtly explained.

Re: ~BOOK CLUB MAY DISCUSSION: Who Censored Roger Rabbit~

I liked that the story jumped right in to what was going on and it wasn't a long backstory about the history of Toons and what was going on. More of "this is what it is, moving on"
