The Ugly

By Alexander Boldizar

Book Overview

Muzhduk the Ugli the Fourth is a 300-pound boulder-throwing mountain man from Siberia whose tribal homeland is stolen by an American lawyer out to build a butterfly conservatory for wealthy tourists. In order to restore his people's land and honor, Muzhduk must travel to Harvard Law School to learn how to throw words instead of boulders. His anarchic adventures span continents, from Siberia to Cambridge to Africa, as he fights fellow students, Tuareg rebels, professors of law, dark magic, bureaucrats, heatstroke, postmodernists, and eventually time and space. A wild existential comedic romp, The Ugly tells the tale of a flawed and unlikely hero struggling against the machine that shapes the people who govern our world.

Customer Reviews

What a weird little book...

The writing style is very interesting, however, only half of the storyline is interesting. About halfway thru i just started skipping the chapters where it was the Lady prof talking, as it was just weird, and finished the book that way, and guess what, i enjoyed it much better than the 1st half. And nothing felt out of place by doing so.. such a shame he had to throw in that extra character as she brought zero to the book..
