Jason Cosmo

Summary: The most read book in my library...
Review: I first read this book when I was in 9th grade (1990), and I can still pick it up today and find some new slice of humor that I didn't get the first, or the second, or the third time that I read it. Dan is an amazing writer, and I just can't tell you how many bad weeks have ended in laughter because Jason Cosmos was there to cheer me up. It's a shame that it's out of print, because it really is a gem. Hey, I feel so strongly about this book that I'll lend you my own signed copy if you can't find a used one!

Summary: I laughed until I hurt!
Review: I loved this book. As an adult I could appreciate the wit of the writing, and still "get" the childishness of the jokes. I laughed until I was actually asked to leave my residence until I could act like "an adult" by my roommates. This is a very fun read and I highly recommend it.

Summary: A great book
Review: I've read all three books in the series, and must say I wish there had of been more. Each book, starting with this one, just kept getting better. Cosmo is the epitomy of the fantasy hero. Yet, thanks to the author, he makes fun of fantasy hero's every step of the way. You'll love it

Summary: Power!!

Summary: Rollicking fantasy comedy adventure!
Review: Jason Cosmo is just an ordinary turnip farmer in Lower Hicksnittle when a stranger shows up and tries to kill him. Now he is running for his life across the Eleven Kingdoms, pursued by bounty hunters, mercenaries, large wolves, demon lords, flying eyeballs, and other unpleasant things. Magical pyrotechnics! Desperate last stands! Daring escapes! Duels to the death! Politically incorrect but nonetheless scantily clad women! Bad puns! Cheap jokes! And the Jaws of Death! You really can't go wrong with this little gem of the genre.

Summary: The funniest sci-fi fantacy I have ever read.
Review: This book was obviously written by a generation x'er, but was funny and very entertaining to me, a boomer. His dark satire ran from the sublime to the ridiculous. It was riddled with deus ex machina's and I loved them all. I highly recommend for pure fun. Note, if you are too serious or politically correct, this book may not be for you.

Summary: The best humorous fantasy book I have ever read!
Review: Yes, believe the author, this is truly the funniest fantasy book I have ever read! The whole trilogy is great too. Do you like Esther Freisner's Gnome Man's Land and Harpy High? Those are great books, but I honestly think Dan McGirt's works are funnier. I would recommend these books to anyone, fantasy fans or not. I hope he writes more books, and soon!
