Mogworld Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Mogworld wasn't a bad book. Certainly entertaining, and one of the better "popcorn" books I've read in a while, but nothing brain-smashingly incredible either. I just kind of left it going on my back burner for a while. When I finally finished it, I smiled, chuckled a bit, and moved on. The characters in the book are amusing and interesting, even if they do eventually become a bit predictable. Slippery John, the so stupid he's a genius rogue, was probably the funniest character. The one thing I really wasn't a fan of was how deaths were handled. Character death, especially that of important characters, felt kind of off-handed and unimportant, even for characters that I really liked. The premise of the books is great, though, and I'd definitely recommend it for any MMO expats or nerds getting ready to go on a cruise. That's what people do on cruises, right? Read? "

" Wasn't awful, it just happened to start off with its best parts, leaving the 2nd half to be quite lackluster compared to the first. I was laughing throughout so there is no lack of typical "Yahtzee" cynicism and all his descriptions and comparisons, much like in Zero Punctuation, are spot on hilarious. Not an amazing read but for his first book I was pleased. "

" If you like Zero Punctuation, I think you will like this book. It's about an NPC in a video game and his adventures trying to delete himself from the game. "

" I had a BLAST reading this. ^_^ The concept is a lot of fun, the plot trotted along nicely, and the characters are interesting. "

" A pretty good fantasy read with some neat ideas. The storytelling is solid though I think the early chapters need a little editing. The humor is uneven ranging from lots of mildly smileworthy moments to one scene that had me actually LOLing in public. Reminds me a bit of early Pratchett. Hopefully we'll see more from Yahtzee as his writing matures and improves. "

" Great fun at first, but got tedious about a third through and halfway through I just didn't care anymore and stopped reading. "

" The back of the book ruins some of the concept that you otherwise would only suspect as you read the first hundred pages. The story felt a bit long and at times the humor came too often, but overall, it was a fun lampoon on traditional fantasy novels that even I, having never played an MMO before, could enjoy. "

" I should note that if you loved 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', or Terry Pratchet, you'll love this book as well. Since I found those underwhelming, I didn't like this one much either. I did like the second half better, once it become more of a normal book. "

" Well-written and hilarious. The ending was not what one would expect and your mileage may vary. Definitely worth reading if you are at all familiar with MMO concepts. "

" Very very funny if you love gaming. "

" I don't play MMORPGs extensively. The playtime I have racked up leads me to believe that there's a lot more humor and depth here for the avid MMORPG player. That said, the book was decent and contained quite a bit of wit. "

" I wholeheartedly enjoyed this book. It has Yahtzee's characteristic humor, an interesting and fun plot, and great characters that I really became invested in. I also loved some of the sutler touches, like the location names. "

" 3.25 instead of 3. "I am never going to have conversations with files I might have to delete again." :) "

" A funny and creative book, it even has a twist at the end ^^ "

" entertaining book...i had quite a few laughs in it..charactors are very likable...Jim, Meryl, Thaddeus, and ya gotta kinda like Mr Wonderful :)... but it was also a book that was just too easy to put down, almost to the point of "Do I really want to keep reading this?" But i finished it.. "

" It was alright, there was some rather slow parts and it really didn't have any big wow to the story. "

" Great book. In my top ten "

" Although I have never played an on-line RPG, I am a fan of fantasy and tabletop RPGs, so I don't think I missed much (if any) of the inside humor of the book. Nonetheless, like the protagonist, this story sometimes 'had legs' and sometimes didn't. "

" Really enjoyed this book. Not the best writing, But definitely excellent for first book. "
