Reviews

I don't often provide blurbs for books, but when the writers literally have you chained to a wall and are refusing to let you leave before you give them one, you tend to relax your standards. Enjoy this book. I did. Now let me go, please.

I've known Gabe Koplowitz since he was 9 years old, and I'm baffled by this. I thought maybe he'd be a doctor -- I was thinking podiatrist. But now this... What is this? Is it about vikings or Millennials? And is Allen wearing tights? Why is Allen wearing tights? And who is Will Tracy? I think this Will Tracy is a bad influence. - Dave Eggers



ADVENTURES IN POOR TASTE -- Tracy and Koplowitz fill every page with fun moments, over-the-top action, and nods to many things fantasy lovers love.



FORCES OF GEEK -- I was only two pages in when I realized this might be the funniest book of the year.



The Fatheads who wrote ALLEN,SON OF HELLOCK, don't laugh at jokes. No. They listen, then nod their heads, sagely, and make comments like 'ah, yes. That is quite funny' and 'I see what you are doing, verbally, with the use of outrage-e-osity vis-a-vis logic.' They make up words like 'outrage-e-osity'! Honestly! I have no time for any of them...

FREAK SUGAR -- Lovingly pokes at fantasy tropes while embracing and revering them for what they bring to the table.
