Off to See the Wizard is quite possibly one of the most entertaining, ridiculous, irreverant things I've read in a while. If you enjoy your "heroes" flawed and your quests full of failures, you'll probably enjoy this book. As a person who enjoys fantasy books and tabletop roleplaying games, this book tickled my funny bone in just the right way. It is a ludicrous tribute to the behind the scenes stories of epic quests. One of my favorite parts comes about halfway through when the Sorceress discovers a new magic word... You've just gotta read it for yourself.

I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.
What happens after a great quest to save the world? Interviews taken from the investigation files of the Inquisitor General... This was very fast-paced and funny, although more than a little hung up on sex. I loved the deposition-style of story telling, and how the characters played off of each other to tell their version of "the truth". Highly recommended, though needed some proof-reading.

A brilliant tale of wizards, demons and other assorted individuals living in the land of Chimera.
A laugh out loud, crisply written story of derring do adventures.
I loved it!
Hope there is more to come!

Off to see the Wizard, is one of those books I don't know where it'll take me. And to be honest, I wasn't very confident once I was facing a long list of witnesses, their functions and the entire va-va-voom. The only names I remembered were - ironically enough (you'll understand why when you read the book), Harvey and Kevyn Prevert (for obvious reasons).
Can't say for sure why, but I had difficulties getting into the story at first. No doubt who was talking. Always got a name and function prior to their testimonies, so that wasn't the problem.
Once I got to know the characters a bit better and those names weren't really necessary anymore, which made me somehow enjoy it a lot more! And what a joyride it turned out to be! I had a blast and often caught myself laughing out loud: Some situations they end up in, are so crazy it's ridiculous! I couldn't help visualizing it as some sorta Monty Python movie!
Definitely one of the funniest books I've read!!… (meer)
