5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, July 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ascent of Rum Doodle and the Cruise of the Talking Fish (Paperback)

TO ALL THOSE LOOKING FOR COPIES OF THIS MASTERPIECE!....I had the distinct opportunity to read all 40,000 1/2 feet of the book while in Nepal at THE Rum Doodle Restaurant! We'll be heading back in the near future and can likely get more copies. Space in my pack is very limited but I may be able to slip in an extra copy or two...let me know if you'd like one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Left me in tears of laughter, June 16, 1998

psyche@pacbell.net (Alameda California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Ascent of Rum Doodle and the Cruise of the Talking Fish (Paperback)

The Ascent of Rum Doodle has some of the funniest scenes I have ever read. My wife thought I was going to choke to death while I tried to read the fight in the tent. This book rivals even the parody "Bored of the Rings", my nominee for funniest book of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is gold!, February 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ascent of Rum Doodle and the Cruise of the Talking Fish (Paperback)

I must have this book. The publisher is out of stock. I NEEEDDDD this book to fulfill a lifelong promise to my mom, who loaned it to someone who didn't return it. If you know how I could get this book, please let me know. I'd pay a premium.
