Damned & Fancy #1
Damned & Fancy
Travis Thompson had been a hard-hitting investigative journalist. Now he wore blue tights and a bright red codpiece, and rode a horse around a world which resembled a second-rate medieveal movie set. Jack the demon told him he'd been transported here by magic, but Travis knew it couldn't be real. Right? But whatever the truth, he had to find his way home. He hadn't even cancelled the milk. Mind you, the cross-dressing princess was very beautiful, and Travis supposed you could get used to goats' testicles stew if it was your basic diet for long enough...
Combining the black, sexy drollness of Tom Sharpe with humorous fantasy, DAMNED AND FANCY will appeal to anybody with a funnybone or two. It is the first novel in a hugely funny series from John Brosnan.

Ganz ehrlich, dieses Buch könnte sogar eine spannende Idee sein. Es passieren so viele Dinge, die ich nicht erwartet habe und die Story ist so spannend, dass man weiterlesen möchte.
Worüber ich allerdings nicht hinwegkomme, ist der unfassbar ausgeprägte Sexismus.
Wenn ich noch einmal etwas über brüste, sex mit frauen, oder die Reaktion von männlichen Geschlechtsteilen beim Gedanken an Frauen lese, kotze ich.
An einem Punkt wurde sogar das schlafen 2 Frauen in einem Bett sexualisiert??
Und ja, das passiert natürlich in dem Ausmaß auch nur bei den Frauen.
Davon abgesehen gab es so viele Anspielungen auf sexuelle Übergriffe, oder ausgeführte sexuelle Übergriffe, die nicht eingeordnet worden sind.
Mein Buch hat Band 1 und 2 umfasst.

It's really fun, Brosnan was a great author. I found myself not really sympathising with the protagonist, but thoroughly enjoying seeing him fumble and go on his quest. Only disappointing thing is it was rather short, my edition a mere 180-something pages. The second book I started on is even shorter.
