Book Review, Really?

We are 11 days into the new year and I have surprised myself by finishing 2 books already. I'm on my way to my reading goal, and thought I would drop in with a mini-review. It's going to be more a raving of how great it was though.

Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw of Zero Punctuation fame (internet famous) is his first book and his humor translates over quite well in this format.

Mogworld follows are Jim, a newly undead, in his adventures in this bizarre world. His noble quest is, well, not so noble quest, he wants to properly die. It seems as this is not just a problem with him, everyone in the world is immune from death. Jim and a couple of his undead companions seem to be the only ones who come back to the same body they left, which means they have to be extra careful about losing limbs.

The humor in it is amazing. I literally laughed out loud. Most of the jokes are Jim's witty remarks or quick observations. One thing seemed extremely dragged out for me, but it was just the way one of the characters was.

All in all, it was a great read that I couldn't put down. I recommend it, especially if you are a gamer or fantasy fan. There are some obscenities, but maybe 1 word for every 100 pages. I'm not sure if non-gamers would enjoy this as much as I have, but if you are looking for something not so serious, I'd say give it a try.

Any book recommendation for my next read?
