Is Dungeon Born good?

Dungeon Born is one of the best books I have read in a while. This book is written in a light and funny way. For me it was new and fresh, it was the first dungeon type books i read.

Why is Dungeon Born recommended?

The bobiverse books might not be in a fantasy setting or about a dungeon, but there is something similar there. They are both funny, they build out their domain and power, and they both was once human beings but now are something else.

Is Ready Player One good?

This book is full of pop culture from the 80s, especially the cool nerdy stuff. Sadly I`m a little to young to have experienced the 80s pop culture, but i know some of it, and it is still cool. It is all those references that makes the book shine the most, Ready Player One would be as good without it.

Why is Ready Player One recommended?

They are both funny and full of popular culture references.

Is Off to Be the Wizard good?

I love the concept, and the humor story around it is marvelous. If you are afraid of laughing around strangers, then you should probably read it at home. Sadly the third book was a huge disappointment, but the two first are extraordinary.

Is Legend of the Galactic Heroes good?

This is one of the better animes out there. It's also an anime that I recommend for people who generally do not like animes. However, it is very long and old. Sadly it`s kind of hard to get hold of it legally, at least where I live.

Is Farscape good?

This is a cool sciences fiction show, but not the best. I could for some reason not stomach the actor playing John Crichton. I had problems with him when he was on SG-1 also. This is probably just me, and many will likely disagree with me on this. If you have no problems with him, then this show might be pretty good, absolutely worth watching.
