Disenchanted by Robert Kroese

5.0

I really enjoyed this book. It was the first I'd read by Kroese, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I also tend to be pretty skeptical of farcical books, but I found this one to be well done, and actually funny.

The characters are interesting, and the story twists are surprising, especially toward the end. There was one fairly cliché sexist moment in the plot, and it kind of pissed me off. However, the female character involved was pretty well represented in the rest of the book as an intelligent, caring, and important person. This compared to the much-less-intelligent lead male character.

I read most of the book on Kindle, but it came with free audio narration by Phil Gigante, and I listened to the last quarter. I wish I'd listened to the whole thing because he's one of the best audiobook narrators I've heard and made the story even more fun.
