This second adventure actually started off with a good deal more levity and parody than I expected after the first novel. If you are of a mind that begins to doubt your reading choice at this point, stick with it. The first quarter doesn't really prepare you for what is going to happen. There is a very different, if dark, ride coming up.
Foreshadowing of a third novel comes early in case you don't already know it exists. This robbed the story of some potential "edge of your seat"...more

This is Book 2 of David's fascinating account of the life of Apropos of Nothing, a fantasy farce. It starts off with a quite risque version of a quest for a special ring...and ends up being a reflection on what hatred and invincibility can bring forth in an average man. It didn't resolve as well as I wanted it to but you can't have everything.

This sequel to "Sir Apropos of Nothing" starts with a very silly parody of the Lord of the Rings. However, this silliness turns out to have serious consequences later on in the book. And this book becomes quite strange and gripping halfway through. Very cool, if unsettling at times.

While the first book of this series was a lot of fun, this one slogged down and just did not have the same punch, the same humor, and the same style as the first.

Possibly funnier than the first book in the series, Sir Apropos of Nothing. Same main character, still makes me laugh out loud, but it isn't for everyone.

Brilliant as always, although the middle part is quite dark.
