5.0 out of 5 stars A True Original That Will Make You Hungry, January 6, 2004

By	AWA (Concord, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This delightfully eccentric book tells the story of the Red Fox, a celebrated chef who works for the King on the planet Epsilon. He is slyly offered twice as much money to accompany the four "Cinnamon Bears" on their spaceship "The Bearscout," and he (illegally) accepts their offer and embarks on a memorable journey, where he must whip up various fondues and pastries while getting involved in a variety of horrors and adventures. You have to appreciate a book where no matter what happens (mummy attacks, questionable decisions by former commando "Grandma," and battles with the "Cyber-Wolf" and the "celebrated pig, Rudin Smoke") the overriding concern of all the characters is to get a good, well-cooked meal. This book is best for sci fi/fantasy fans High School and older who are at least slightly loopy themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and Original, July 31, 2003

By	JMS (CA, United States) - See all my reviews

This is a really funny book. It's got talking animals and funny illustrations, like a classic children's book, but its also got a space story - a bit like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but with a better story. Also, the main character, the Red Fox is a cook, so there's lots of cooking. I was hungry after I read it. This will probably appeal to anyone who likes the Harry Potter type mixture of adventure with comedy. Very original and worth reading.
