Review & Description
"I found this novel to be extremely humorous and well written, and Rodden's explanations of toon life and abilities is fascinating"
- A Book Vacation
"I think you have created a very colourful, engaging story with a wonderful undercurrent of humour, which made me smile, particularly the exchanges between your characters."
- youwriteon.com review
"Every paragraph [is] either a parable, or maybe nothing at all, other than the vagaries of a creative imagination. The beauty is, we don't know, and so must keep reading."
- authonomy.com review
Toonopolis is a cartoon world. Gemini is transported to this world and becomes a reluctant hero, striving to save Toonopolis from a shadowy figure.
"One of the most interesting twists on the book's concept is that the cartoons in Toonopolis exist in the same realm as humans, and are permanently linked to them...The bond between cartoon creations and sentient beings is a recurring and interesting theme that separates Toonopolis from other cartoon-based works, such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
- Christopher Troilo, avault.com
Often compared with other fantasy books (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz), movies (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, The NeverEnding Story), cartoons (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs) and video games (Comix Zone, The Bard's Tale), Toonopolis: Gemini still manages to stand apart as wholly original, yet vaguely familiar, to readers.
"Just when you think that it's all been said, seen and done in the imaginary world - you come up with a winner."
