Amusement abounds in Excalibur’s return
Posted by tcabn in Fantasy, Uncategorized, Young Adult on January 19, 2013
– The Wrong Sword by Ted Mendelssohn; an Amazon 4.8 stars rating and 4.11 stars on Goodreads.
My Take on The Wrong Sword:
Mendelssohn creates a witty tale outside the pages of myth in his depiction of the legendary Excalibur, King Arthur of Camelot’s famous sword. Set in Europe in the time of the Plantagenet family rein, a crafty thief is forced to use his guile and intellect to find Excalibur and deliver it to an unsavory contender for the British throne but when he finally pulls the famous sword from its resting place, he finds the sword has its own ideas about who should wield it.

Journey to the edge of the disc – a tale of magic, friendship and buffoonery
The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Terry Pratchett stakes his claim to being the funnyman of science fiction in the Color of Magic, book one in the Disc-world series. He grabs you from the first page with his uncanny wit and his character’s humorous banter and keeps you chuckling to the very end of the story. You’ve likely seen similar characters from other books, television and movies but Pratchett takes the classic comedy duo and firmly plants them in a fantasy world that is over the top hilarious.
A raw adventure from the darkest depths of comedy
Malice in Blunderland by Jonny Gibbings
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Real and raw, this story isn’t for the thin-skinned or prudish sort. Malice in Blunderland is laden with adult situations and language that may offend some, but if you like your humor gritty then you will appreciate Jonny Gibbings fictional first-hand account of a life gone horribly wrong and getting worse over the span of a few days.
