The hilarious autobiography of the legendary hero of The Soddit .
Adam Roberts' The Soddit was a bestseller and sold 150,000 copies. But what happened to the Soddit after his adventures, and after his account of them was published. . .
Call me jaded, but I really couldn't be bothered with this. The first few pages were littered with dreadful puns every couple of sentences. I felt like I was in the audience of a lame stand-up comedian desperately trying to get a laugh out of their audience. The title of course should have been a give-away, along with the list of dramatis personae [sic]. Gondef the Grey (you can guess who his name's a play on) is recorded as the hard man of magic. "and what he was most hard of was hearing." And Bingo Grabbins, the author of this autobiography recounts that he has been promoting his books on the chat-show circuit, "as the touring bands of Francophone cat display teams are called." I could go on but I think you get my drift. The story may be good, but since I gave up reading after about 20 pages I can't say much about it. If you're the type of reader who enjoys dad jokes and bad puns, you might enjoy this book more than I did.
