Lädt ... The Rocketeer: The Official Movie Adaptation [Novelization]von Peter David
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() If you enjoy novelizations of movies, you'll probably enjoy this book. Being a fan of the movie, and having just recently rewatched it before spotting this at a local library sale, I grabbed this book as soon as I saw it. Of course, the fact that this novelization was written by Peter David, whose comic book work I've enjoyed over the years, certainly helped cement my decision to buy this book. There are, as noted on the "About the Author" page in the back, a few liberties taken with time and the placement of certain actors in the act of filming certain movies that weren't actually filmed at the time the story takes place in an effort to add some big names to a story that takes place in Hollywood in 1938. But, considering how many glaring inaccuracies appear in biopics and other films about actual events, I'm willing to let it slide. Especially since it provides a nice moment where Clark Gable gives some gruff to one of his costars over a certain comic book he is found to be reading. The costar? George Reeves. The comic? Action Comics. (If you didn't know, George Reeves would later play Superman). Also, there's a nod to another action hero whose exploits take place in the same time as a Nazi laments that he didn't decide to join "that dig in Tanis."
