Customer Reviews

It cracked me up

I picked this book up at the library. I thought the cover was weird but the once I started reading it the plot and the humor did not disapoint me. There were a lot of jokes that are funny to Dungeons and Dragons players. I hope Ned Resnikoff writes another book soon.

Funny

This book was full of good old Dungeons & Dragons humor which I find hillarious. If you're a D & D dork, like me, you'll definately like this book. It's got a good pace, and it's full of classic D & D, AD & D, and Bard's Tale humor.

next douglas adams

Ned shows the same defiance for convention that Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Mark Twain had. Very clever satire of the fantasy genre and the culture that produces them.

Surprisingly enjoyable

As my title suggests, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It piqued my interest when I saw that the author was only fourteen, and the writeup on the back of the book looked interesting, so I thought, "Why not?" It was light reading, humourous and thoroughly entertaining. It was fast-paced and well-written, overall, and while there were a few typos (generally not the author's fault), it was a lot of fun. I liked the broad variety of characters that he used, and the tongue-in-cheek way he pokes fun at the cliches of the fantasy genre. I'll keep my eye out for the next book published by Ned Resnikoff.

A great read read on several levels

I love this book. It is remarkable that the author is only 14. It is not only a great adventure story, it is a very funny parody of the fantasy genre. It makes fun of all the fantasy cliches. And it ihas some very perceptive social satire. Adults and kids can enjoy this book.
