Review: This SatNav Leads Readers to Hilarity
Rating: 4 out of 5

Although this book is the fifth in a series, I read it with no background and had no trouble following it.The only way I can describe “The SatNav of Doom” is to say it felt a lot like reading (as opposed to seeing) a long Monty Python skit.  The humor is dry and pun-filled.  There are plenty of sly references to Rock and Roll bands and songs, and biting takes on government and corporations. As an American, I had no trouble with British terms, and was amused that politics and industry seem to be the same on both sides of the Atlantic.The characters in SatNav are delightful—an evil mage, inept minions, a lovesick dragon who plays bass in the band, various corporate types, all with distinct personalities and all hilarious in their own ways. The writing is fast paced, but not so zoomy that the reader feels his or her head spinning. The humor may not be to everyone’s taste, but I found the book quite enjoyable.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
