everyone who loves fantasy humor, D&D, and likes to laugh
This book is hysterical!
For folks who are into Dungeons & Dragons, the pre 3.0 version, Phil's work has been a graphic staple; The Adventures of Phil and Dixie. I always loved Phil's panel strips in the Dragon magazines, and when he did the art work for Myth Adventures graphic novel, it was a must have.

Okay, okay. I read these in elementary and middle school. At the time, I love love loved them. I recently picked one up to look at it again and was, suffice to say, far less enamored with them. 11 year old me gives these 5-plus giant awesome puffy stars. Significantly older me gives them one or two, but I can't defame any books that meant so much to me as a youngster.

Volume 1 contained 6 great books. Volume 2 continued that trend for 4 books. Unfortunately, the last 2 didn't live up to the rest of the series.

Kind of a fun read. I remembered it being funnier than it is. Worst proofreading/editing/printing job I've ever seen in a published book.

So far it's so so.... but, I'm only 40 pages into it (it's long).
Young adult lit a-la Harry Potter? We'll see.

Another laugh out loud addition to the Myth adventures. If you enjoyed the first one, this is more of the same.

Love it. I love sci-fi/fantasy that knows it's ridiculous and revels in it. Hilarious.

I love all the books in Asprin's Myth series. They are great humorous light reads.

Very entertaining fantasy spoof. It's along the lines of Discworld.
