"Imagine if Dave Pilkey wrote Lord of the Rings"That's how most describe Quezalcorp. Initially started as a DND Campaign gone horribly wrong, Quezalcorp: A Tale of Dicks and Douchebags evolves into a story all it's own. Join a group of unlikely heroes who through the help of hard work, determination and a lot of sheer dumb luck, find their way to save a crumbling world. Filled with satire, celebrity cameos and just a little bit of heart, Quezalcorp: A Tale of Dicks and Douchebags is a story for all ages... Except not all ages. Maybe like 17 and up. We say a lot of bad words in there.
Born in California on January 7, 1964, Scottye Moore fell in love with acting during a summer class at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. He got his start in teenage comedies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and went on to play a wide variety of roles in such films as Raising Arizona, Moonstruck, and Con Air. He received an Academy Award for his role in 1995's Leaving Las Vegas.
He also hopes you don't realize that he didn't wanna spend time writing a biography and just copied Nicolas Cage's and put his name on it.
I read this book a long time ago but just finished the audiobook, and I am always struck by the Gobstopper-like feel of this book. You know, those Willy Wonks hard candies that start out one flavor but as you suck on them turn into another? This book is a bromance wrapped in adventure wrapped in comedy. Some of the situations are silly, but the bonds are very real between the characters. I like to think of this book as what would happen if Dave Pilkey (whom the author likens it to in the blurb for the book) and Lemony Snicket had a love child who wrote an epic tale. We have the tickle of our funny bones and an author who breaks the fourth wall many a time, plus several tragedies packed in a grand journey... so maybe there’s some Tolkien in there too? All in all, it’s a captivating story that I never tire of.
