Book Reviews of Thraxas
Book Review: A new fanatsy private eye for the massess???
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the first book I read about a private investigater in the fantasy genre. I was mildly entertained when I read it and I would never buy this book. Good thing I went to my local library. I found this book a bit odd, quorky, far-fetched & cartoonish at times. I found it strange that a fantasy book had alot of modern influences I thought was interesting and passed as believeable. For example, drug dealers that sold a drug called Dwa and Diplomatic Immunity for an Orc. The main character made it well known that he has a low self-image of himself. To top it off, he's over weight and in his late forties. Through out the book he was always hot and wanted a beer. It was hard to image Thraxas skillful using a sword against certain opponents that were faster that him. There were times I caught myself chuckle at certain parts. A good asset to the book was Thraxas's friend Makri. She was a young hot ex-gladiator wearing a bikini serving ale at the Avenging Axe most of the time. She wasn't a no brains all braun type of girl, basically she was both brains and braun. The 2nd part of the book Thraxas and the Warrior Monks was a bit more to my liking. I found it redundant that it recalled events from the first part of the book. Originally, there were sold as two seperates books. Honestly, I would never read this book again, but hey, I was entertained!!
