Adventures: Being a Stirring Chronicle of Intrigue, Romance, Danger, Hairbreadth Escape and Thrilling Triumphs

Rating:
Summary: The most fun you will ever have with paper and ink.
Review: I first picked this up thinking it was an Raiders of the Lost Ark-type of adventure story. What I found was in reality a hilarious parody that plays with just about every adventure story cliche there is. Resnick introduces us to the right reverend Lucifer Jones. In the 1920's, Jones makes his way across Africa. This is a man who has a unique relationship with the almighty. He will pose as a man of the cloth spreading the word. In turn, God will turn a blind eye to Jones' attempt to break every one of the ten commandments. Jones also breakes every law of man and has a ball along the way. Jones meets up with Jungle lords, amazon princesses and egyptian mummies run amok. While Jones is a rouge and blackheart, you cant help bult like the guy. I do not have the descriptive power at my command to convey the sheer fun of reading this book. Read it for yourself and you will beg for more!
