This book is really strange. I did not like it all. It is not my kind of book, but I thought I would give it a try.

good
In this book the famous Marvel characters, Captain Rocket and Groot have been stranded on a small planet along with their faithful robot Veronica. The discover that this planet is one large strip mall. While on their mission to find water and dirt, and a way off the planet they find out this is no ordinary strip mall. Whenever thy enter a store the employees try to lure them into the bathrooms, where the toilet promptly attacks them and tries to swallow them whole. Each time the trio must use their wits to escape. Then when they find Rocket's old ship in one of the stores, they have a chance. But Rocket and Groot realize it is their duty to find the monster on this planet and destroy it to protect others. Reading Rocket and Groot was interesting. I have never seen another book formatted like it. When I opened it I was expecting a comic book. The story is told as if the characters are recording a captain's log. Captain Rocket will start out, then Veronica will comment or interrupt, and then of course Groot will comment will his ever famous "I Am Groot". There are also pictures drawn by Rocket using a space stylus. I recommend this book to young Rocket and Groot fans. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
It was kind of weird because of some of the story when toilets wanted to eat them. Everything was a robot there. And I had no idea that the book was by Marvel comics, that kind of surprised me. In the end the weird parts made sense with the story.
I read this book during a little vacation. It was cool to read because I saw the movie Guardians of the Galaxy. Rocket and Groot are best friends and they do amazing things and in this book they go on a big adventure. I like how the pictures are in black and white. It makes it seem so much more like a comic book.
this book was funny but a little confusing for me i thought this was a just right book for me but not now as much as i was thinking
I am a big fan of marvel.And this book was great.Rocket and Groot crash land on a planet with killer toilets!Hilarious.Rocket is the one who illustrated which is super funny.I recommend
This book is really funny, although some parts were boring. A lot of it was confusing, but it was mostly very captivating. I recommend it for people who like funny or fantasy books.
Th book was hilarious. The monster toilets was one of the best parts. I love how Marvel is making movies to o with the MCU! :-)
