Okay, let's start off with a safe, non-spoiler section of the book. The Dedication. This book was dedicated to the editor of the book. Am I the only one who saw this as funny and also pointless? No? Okay, lets move on.To be fair, the editor did a fare enough job, considering what they had to work with.This story was comical in almost every way. So much so, the writer should have added "(insert sitcom laugh sequence here)" after almost every paragraph.Three chapters and I still finished it in 10 minutes. In a book this short, why even bother with calling them chapters? If the book description added any info about the number of words in the book, I would have had to subtract 6. And sense this story timeline lasted all of about 4 hours, (including nap time) there is really no point in slicing it up to make it feel more like a book, and not a magazine article.But don't get me wrong, there was a lot that went down in these few pages. I will just brush over a couple of them for you."Please, go! Find your mate before you drive all of us insane!" Oh brother...Rajah gets the boot right off the bat, by a mysterious, nameless disembodiment. Yet this voice can banish him to a mid-evil oceanic wasteland to fly aimlessly around until he can eventually find a woman who has no qualms about bestiality.The idea behind this, and the banishment should have meant that by the time he found this unique woman, he should have been forced to wander the earth until at least the 20th century. But no, he steps out the door, and takes a couple of flaps of the wings, and he runs smack into his golden opportunity.And here she is, scaling a mountain face in a dress, trying to escape a couple of pirates, which are literally on her heels."Anything! Anything but pirates!" Larkspur screams. Knowing full well that Mr. Pirate has a great view up her dress as he gradually gains on her.I will be nice and not go into the no no's of what happens next.Then, we find ourselves faced with a couple of individuals who are from around the 15th-18th century, and they sling words like a John picking up a prostitute in modern times.I actually (and forgive me for saying) half expected Lark to point her index fingers toward her southern hemisphere and say in a Hulk Hogan voice. "Rip into it, big boy!"Based on the description of Rajah, his southern hemisphere was quite intimidating, But that is not enough to deter our virtuous Lark... Our inexperienced Lark... Yet strangely knowledgeable Lark, who then rides the dragon with no questions asked.But that didn't stop Rajah from being an excellent teacher. No, he pretty much laid out a road map, and all Lark had to do was follow it. Disgusting though it may be.And even with their outstanding differences, love finds a way. Even if it's one sided, and means the non-loving side has to be held prisoner in a mountain top cave until they learn to love. Well, that's not so bad, at least he's good in bed, right?Oh, and Goose liver... Yum, yum, yum!Defiantly, this book is worth picking up. If it was not for the laughs and twisted situations, I would have only been able to squeeze out 2 stars for this story, but this book added a much needed uplift to my evening. So I gave it three for great laughs.Not a bad book for the price, so hook it up.
