Summary: Write more books
Review: I noticed that nobody has reviewed this book, so I decided to add my cent (I'm not quite bright enough to have TWO cents). Royal Chaos was a brilliantly funny book, and the entire Jason Cosmo series is the fantasy equivalent of The Hitchhiker (5 book) trilogy. I've read this book 3 times, and I still can't help but laugh at the imagery. I frequently had to be held back as I tried to push one hilarious passage after another under the nose of friend after friend. Sad to say, they never got used to those midnight calls. It was also very well-written, and I highly recommend it. Note: if you're looking for some serious fantasy, lighten up, it's FANTASY. Read this book. (Helpful hint to you students out there, english teachers do NOT appreciate book reports that begin with the words "Dan McGirt blows Charles Dickens out of the water with this one).

Summary: Tryhard predictable comedy
Review: I read over half of this book, and that was really being a bit generous.
 
This may have got a `B' if I'd been 14 when I reviewed it. A comedy read with only two techniques: set up a standard fantasy scene/creature, and have the heroes make Hollywood teen/child-style smart-alec comments; or make self-referential comments like, "We can't be killed now - it's too early in the plot." Very hip? No, but it might be to someone who'd never heard it done before, or who'd never actually enjoyed bathetic dialogue and substantial characters simultaneously.
 
Every joke is spelt out clearly and laboured, such as a scene where someone observes that the two fighting knights might be shamming a bit. OK if he had've left it at a reply, "Shh, the people in this kingdom hate it if you suggest that," and trusted us to smirk quietly, but he had to go on to say, "Just like professional wrestling."
 
Thanks for clearing that up for us.
