You like humor? You like fantasy? You'll like this book. Much of the humor in this story lies in the first person perspective. Kendar has a way of accenting his good moments and downplaying his bad ones that just reflects on Friesner's great sense of humor. Besides being funny, this book does not let you put it down. Friesner's style and ability to bring humor into a situation will leave you wondering how long it will take you to get a few more of her books.

I read this book during my freshman year of high school and I immediately fell in love with it. How could you not fall in love with a book which can boast such characters as the hopelessly gullible and naive (not to mention failing) magic student Kendar Gangle, a.k.a. "Ratwhacker" and a cat with an attitude from Earth named Scandal who constantly talks about movies and other things that only someone from Earth would understand and thoroughly confusing all the other characters. In fact, the only other book I have read which comes even close to being equal to Majyk by Accident is the sequel!

Wonderful book! Funny, witty, interesting and I couldn't keep my hands off it.

First read this while still in school. Funny yet intelligent. Fun adventure, and makes fun of its own genre while making you laugh. (Warning: you *will* be late for appointments once you start to get into it!)
