Richie Rich: Ba Novelization

This movie is a novelization of the movie starring Macaulay Culkin. The movie has a good plot and the novelization offers a few hours of enjoyable reading.However, I could not get not get used to the character changes. The scientist on the Rich estate is changed to an overeating endomorph. Richie's girlfriend is given a Polish surname and moved to a single-parent home. Nor did I like the cryptic advertising for McDonald's, Radio Shack, and a few other corporations. However, these defects are not the fault of Horowitz. On the contrary, Horowitz does a fine job.You might find it interesting to compare this novelization with the one by Strasser (0590250922). Why one publisher would commission two novelizations of one movie is a mystery, but it doubles our reading pleasure.
