It is a lot of fun, and really not much like anything else, though I can see shelving it with Douglas Adams and the better Robert Sheckley out of desperation. [ And an extremely poor sense of alphabetical order. ]
(Because, you know, my reading list is just not quite big enough. :-)
I believe the appropriate expression is "Mwahahahahahaaaaa !"
The truly irritating thing about it is that I then tried to find anything else by Parke Godwin. And then only found historical/fantasy stuff, which just wasn't the same.
But I see there is a second book. Oh my, I think I might just have to open an Amazon account.
Snake Oil Wars is not quite so good, and if anything it's even weirder. I've read a fair bit of the historicals: Tower of Beowulf is kind of grim fun, if that description makes any sense at all, and the first two Arthur books would probably be OK to anyone who did not find them quite so politically obnoxious as I do. The St. Patrick one, The Last Rainbow, has probably the most crack!tastic ending I've ever seen in a published novel that's been reational within its own loopy premises up to that point, though.
And there's only one userpic I can possibly use with this.
