5.0 out of 5 stars
A fine comedy in the tradition of THE LIGHT FANTASTIC,
By
This review is from: Go Quest, Young Man (Paperback)
This reminds me of some of Terry Pratchett's books, especially the Rincewind series. While our hero here is better at magic than Pratchett's famously inept wizard, it's not by much, and the jokes come fast and furious. There's some fairly good action as well. The finale is a bit open-ended and begs for a sequel.

One of my all time favorites,
By
This review is from: Go Quest, Young Man (Paperback)
Usually when planning to lend this book to someone, I first ask if I can be mean. If the say yes, I give them the book and say no more. A few days later when they return it and ask for the next book I ask if they remember my earlier question. Well the mean part is that there are no squeals! (if they say no, I still give em the book but with the warning)
This is an excellent fantasy novel that pokes fun at itself and the genre in general. Puns abound, and it traverses with at a fairly quick pace, but the end is abrupt and screams for a follow up (or 3 since he is traveling for 4 years total). Just wish it hadn't taken me 4 years to give up hope of a sequel ever coming up.

An Amazingly Entertaining Book,
By
This review is from: Go Quest, Young Man (Paperback)
In my search to find humorous fantasy this is one of the gems of my collection. Bogen writes a great misadventure of a young magician thrist out into the world to find his own way. The book read very quickly, though it was in part because of my enthusiasm to see what was in store for the "hero" in the next chapter. It is a shame that more books did not come out in this series, but if you can find this one, grab it and add it to your collection.
