The Philosophical Strangler, Eric Flint

Branko Majic — 1. October 2009 - 23:36

And... Another fine book read. This time it's a parody fantasy book from Eric Flint, titled The Philosophical Strangler. The book follows the adventures of a strangler, named Greyboar, and his agent, Ignice (yep, the strangler got himself an agent). Now, as the title of the book suggests, the strangler has a great interest in philosophy. If you think that helps his agent to get work for him, you're wrong. Thanks to strangler's beliefs, the two of them will get into a lot of trouble. They'll meet new people, old acquaintances, love of their lives, you name it. What's particularly interesting in the book is reference to many real-world characters, introduced usually in a very funny way.

Definitively another book worth the read.

The book can be downloaded from Bane Free Library Book. Another proof that freely downloadable books can be of very high quality.
