Cugel's Saga: Tales of the Dying Earth, Book 3 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This one was not much different from the previous book in the series (The Eyes of the Overworld), but I give it less stars. Cugel is exactly the same as we came to know him in the previous story, I don't like such integrity in my anti-hero. While on the first encounter his terrible character is comically unbelievable - you want to say "no, you don't, Cugel. No, really?" each time he pulls some trick - this time around his consistency is annoying because it doesn't surprise you anymore. "

" A story about a total dick and amazing use of vocabulary? Count me in. "

" And old favorite. Very entertaining read, highly recommended! "

" Read as part of 'Tales of the Dying Earth' trade p/b omnibus "

" Oh, it was ok. Cugel is such a con-man, but some how endearing. "

" This is the book that first got me into Jack Vance 25 years ago - I love his writing style. There aren't many duds in his list of books, although the more recent ones are more formulaic. "

" A goofy but eventually addictive story with some wonderful bits of fantasy invention (boot wax that makes things float, worm-powered sea vessels, etc.) The Dying Earth novels keep getting better. "

" Probably the best of the Dying Earth novels. Funny, quirky and eloquent. A marvelous achievement in literature. "

" Simplement entretingut. Tot i així, no deixa de ser un conjunt d'aventures més o menys enginyoses. En general m'han agradat més altres llibres de la sèrie. El que sí que és destacable és el personatge protagonista de l'obra (Cugel). "
