Hilarious!

I've enjoyed this book in both print and now audio. Even after numerous reads, I still get chortles. If you are looking for a serious epic, you should check elsewhere. But if you want something light and fun with maybe a little bodice ripping, this is your read. (well... listen)

Milking the Giant Cow!

Hilarious book. Reminds me a lot of Terry Pratchett's earlier work ... fun, light, and very witty. I'm going to start downloading the author's other books now. Hazaah!

Hilarious and entertaining

I had no idea what to expect going into this, however it makes working a pleasurable experience. I caught myself smiling and laughing aloud while listening, and had a great time.
