If you've got a good screen cleaner, and a liquid proof keyboard, you might be safe reading this with liquids around. Otherwise, no. This is spray-and-pound-the-desk-laughing stuff here! The spoof is PERFECT, from the opening scene with Pirate Dave practically blinded by his own hair as the wind whips it into his face while he's standing at the railing of his ship, to the discovery that his new loves are conjoined twins, to the glitter-filled spells he casts, right through to the "no one saw them for six days and everyone lived happily ever after" ending. PERFECT spoof. It's not easy to write satire and especially not over-the-top raucous satire (I know this for a fact; I've written humor). Sustaining it through the entire book, always managing to top yourself (which the author has to do) is the work of pure genius, and that's what Pirate Dave and His Randy Adventures delivers. I've read this delight several times and it's on my guaranteed-cheer-up list. I'll happily read anything Robyn writes. My full five stars! Now if I could just find my screen cleaner.
