Guys Adventures

I have just finished reading the second book by Norm Cowie. He wrote The Adventures of Guy and The Next Adventure of Guy. He also has other published works, and one or two other books slated to come out within the next year. Look him up - great sense of humor and a wonderful smile! I found both books to be very funny. I would even go so far as to say "Laugh Out-Loud Funny". Not necessarily, snort-laugh... Although there was that chapter where they... Wait. It starts like this... The `Guy' in these books.... Um... he's a guy, but he's also Guy... So, Guy and his friends go on a couple of Quests. Traveling along with this group of misfits was a heck of a ride! They are all so crazy, whacky and likeable. I would recommend these books as a good read to most anyone that has a funny bone. Even if you DON'T have a funny bone, maybe it would help you get one. Or find out where you left your other one. If you ever had one. Maybe you didn't. Maybe you were born without one. Boy, that would suck. (which brings me to Mr. Cowie's next book - about a vampire! hahahaha) Anyway, I am gonna try to get the anthologies with two other stories about that guy, Guy. One is titled Missing and the other is... um, let me look it up. Snap! I thought there was another one! No, wait - it is called The Heat Of The Moment. Keep writing, Norm - and I will keep reading!!! Thanks for the assortment of words. You are now, unofficially, one of my fav authors.

A guy's review

Why is it that Norm Cowie can write about boobs, poop and butt cracks and come off kind of cute, but when I do it, people tell me that I made them vomit (in a good way, of course)? It's just not fair. Maybe it's because Norm has a knack for wordplay. Maybe it's because I lack the ability to determine or care about when something is in bad taste. Who cares? This review shouldn't be about me and my scatological humor. It should be about Norm Cowie and the crazy adventure he sends his characters on to retrieve the brain of the protagonist's little brother. Cowie's unique sense of humor and quirky observations make for a thoroughly entertaining read. I will definitely be picking up More Adventures of Guy in the near future. The adventures of Guy is a creative, strange, humorous adventure worth checking out. Fans of Douglas Adams and Dave Barry will enjoy Norm Cowie's work.

Guyquest

A funny book about a guy And Guy's also his name Your standard goof-off slacker-dude Without a claim to fame And then one day a phone call came That sent him on a quest He's forced to leave his dirty home (More like his filthy nest) There's something wrong with little Seth At least he's not himself In no time flat, Guy's pals become A sor-cer-er and elf It seems your quest is not complete Without a certain mix So they recruit a warrior Stacked like a house of bricks There's something evil chasing them And monsters everywhere Look out for buzzing little flies And plumber's derriere The truth of telemarketing The huge attorney plot All made as simple as the choice To supersize, or not? It's just as crazy as it sounds With potty jokes and worse A madcap world of fantasy Reviewed by me in verse A warning to you, friends of mine And you, my dear consumer Don't bother picking up this one If you've no sense of humor Amanda Richards, August 25, 2007
