Everyone knows that Heroes slay Dragons. Not everyone knows that Heroes also change diapers.
It's the oldest story in the world; boy meets girl, boy marries girl, they have a family. But what happens when the girl makes more money than the boy, and he stays at home to raise the kids? What happens when pregnancy is rough on her, and he has to go back to work? And what happens when she's a dragon, he's a ranger, and a day at the office involves trolls, elves, magic, and lower back pain?
Linus Weedwhacker (shut it, he's heard 'em all) knows first hand.

Must Love Dragons is very reminiscent of the great Sir Terry Pratchett. The world of Linus the worlds most put upon reinstated Ex-Ranger has much in common with our own. There are PTA meetings, Unions, stolen bacon, and giant Frost Dragons to slay. The reader follows Linus on his journey to try and make some money to help support his wife who is pregnant with their sixth child as he gets back into the old Rangering business. But coming along are a bunch of elves and one not entirely there Barbarian sure to drive Linus to the brink. I giggle aloud like mad reading through Must Love Dragons, the jokes were fast and crisp and got you right in the gut. Each of the characters were fascinating in their own way and a fun satire of the classic 2-d fantasy character turned three dimensional. I'd recommend this to any humor/fantasy and especially any Pratchett/Discworld fans.
