Customer Reviews

A little slow at first, but then it's great!

I read the book cause I'm a infocom game fan. The book is excellent once you get into it. Some parts are down right hilarious, others are filled to the brim with puns. So arm yourself with you Acme Kitchen Wonder, put on your Magic Glasses, and prepare to run from the Boot Patrol (just read the book already)

Moderately funny, and very original, magic adventure

Wishbringer is one of the Infocom books, loosely based on the Infocom games. Ignore that; it won't affect your enjoyment of the book.The story is about a scam-artist who must save a Jeckyl-and-Hyde community, with the aid of some magical, but not entirely reliable or discreet, companions. Not as good as The Ballad of Wuntvor or the Ebenezum Trilogy, but an enjoyable light read.
