"Great read for ages 13-300 well... you know what I mean." As a fan of all humorous fiction and humorous fantasy in particular I just had to give this book a try. I am glad I did! Without any spoilers or giving away too many of the funny bits I have to say that the characters are wonderful, believable (for a fantasy story anyway...) and well written. The humor doesnt get in the way of the story as it can in some attempts at this genre and you will find yourself smiling, laughing and nodding all the way through. (Dont ask about the ducks...) This book is aimed at younger readers (teens) but anyone will enjoy it. I can't wait for a sequel so I can visit this world again. Do yourself a favor and check this one out! -John
