Review

A hilarious romantic/adventure/comedy of a well loved mideval story. This books has a little bit of everything for everyone in that it has so many genres rolled into one. The comedy is both witting dialog and situational humor. The action is well written and easy to follow. The drama is a combination of absurd and intense. The characters are wonderfully developed for such a light hearted comedy. There is so much for so many readers, and do not forget to read any forwards or introductions, they play into the comedy and story so well.
