One of the first books I read of my own volition while my mother spent over a half an hour in the G.L. Perry variety store one day in my childhood.

I do like this story. It has that nostalgic memories going through the comic book series.
Cover
You see the cover you know everything that’s going to happen. This is a character introduction book introducing the beginning of Bunnie Rabbot. I actually like this cover more and more as I look at it. First off it isn’t ripped right out of the book but holds onto the essence of the drama in the book. This is what I love to see.

Story
It’s interesting and strange. For anyone that’s read the first one. The biggest change you’ll notice is that the rings are no longer created by Uncle Chuck but come from a pond. This really strays away in style.
It appears this series was originally meant to be more unique than we actually received. In this book you’ll also notice are all fully announced unlike in book #1. The book is a bit paint by numbers but really the story of bunnie’s transformation is a more common than Sonic and Robotnik practically being adopted brothers.
Pictures
The illustrations are crisp and clear and great. I think they are great and readable.
Afterthought
Something that just realized. What’s up with the freedom fighters. They are technically a huge roster of the characters in the main arch and yet they never appear in other media. Granted this was a rights fight but still. Some of the most iconic characters never utilized.

This is one of my favourite books from when I was a kid. I just read it again and it was pretty much what I remembered. Great for kids just getting into reading on their own, a fun read for the nostalgic Sonic the Hedgehog fans out there.

Obviously not the same as reading it 15 years ago, but still fun to reread. Reminded me how much I enjoyed the tv show and the video games about Sonic.
