Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen by Alan Dean Foster / Dan Jolley (w/ Gus Spelman)

Somehow, we found a guy who LOVES Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. This week on Authorized, we invite Gus Spelman on to defend this Writers' Strike-era actioner, which he does so admirably. One thing no one can go to bat for, however, is Alan Dean Foster's tossed off, undercooked, overwritten steamer of a novelization. Who is this book even written for, at its 200+ page length and with its SAT prep ten dollar word vocabulary? One of the hardest books to get through any of us have read. John Goodman gets off easy by reporting in on the junior novelization by Dan Jolley, which sounds like a merciful reduction of Foster's sins.
