![]() ![]() I've ordered several of his books, although none have great ratings. Seems as if he's written for comic books some & does have a few other novels out there, so he's not completely unknown. I managed to find a copy for my youngest boy who also loves it, but never found anything else by this author until I looked him up on GR this time. ![]() If you're looking for escapist fantasy, this is it. The writing is short, sweet, & to the point. It only takes a couple of hours, so is a great comfort read. ![]() I've read it half a dozen times over the years. Fun characters, great settings, & an interesting premise. The action is pretty much nonstop & there are more than a few points where acceptance rather than critical evaluation (just go with it) of the story are required. Thankfully, I've matured a bit since then, but can still appreciate it. All of these are overdone in a tongue-in-cheek manner & many guys will see themselves in him. He's arrogant, self absorbed, & generally an ass, but physically strong, forthright, & has a low sense of humor - not too bad for a teenager. Young men will probably like it the most since it is told in the first person by our hero who is in his late teens. From a literary standpoint, it probably sucks & certainly isn't for everyone. July2013 Review: This has held up well as a fun read, although it is far from a perfect book. ![]()
