Fantastic satire on fantasy roll playing games as well as economics in general full of humor as well as good storytelling. It's a wonderful story full of people fallen from grace trying to reclaim some of there former glory and make up for the past. It also has a interesting look at racial dynamics between the "Good Guys" and the "Bad Guys". I highly recommend this book especially if you played D&D/MMORPG has some nice references that made me laugh. This is unbiased review even if though I share the same last name as the main character and normally play a Dwarf when i play D&D, andi think I may be a tall Dwarf or at least built like one. Hope this helps you choose to give this book a try.
