B^F: The Novelization Of The Feature Film by Ryan North
4.0
Really all you need to know about this book is from the description:
"In 1984, George Gipe was contracted to write the novelization of the movie Back To The Future. He was supplied with a screenplay still in flux, writing his novelization even as the movie itself was being rewritten and as major roles were being recast (Michael J. Fox was not the first person to play Marty McFly). Partially because of this, and partially because of Gipe's natural writing style, the novelization is coo-coo bananas. It is totally insane. It's... kind of awesome?
I feel like I should mention that after he submitted his manuscript, George Gipe was stung to death by bees."
I laughed out loud a lot while reading this. Ryan North is hilarious. And I learned a few things about one of my favorite movies.
