Sir Apropos of nothing by Peter David, It is a wonderfully funny fantasy novel that takes potshots at most of the clichés in standard fantasy fiction, turning them on their heads. It looks at the roles of the hero, sidekick, and villain and asks “What if the sidekick isn’t happy with his lot in life and wants to be the hero instead?” The narrator, Apropos, is very self-aware, especially of his role in the proceedings -- and he’s not happy about it. The tale becomes a comedy of coincidences, missteps, and derring-do told wonderfully by the ever-talented David.

Hmm, never read it..or heard of it. It sounds really interesting from your descriptions though. I think I'll put it on my book list. XD

Oh you definately should, I havent read it all yet but it is amazing even so far, it also has a sequil etc. but im not sure the name.

I dont think i ever have. I should look in to it the next time i go into a book sotre. hummm maybe saturday ^^ [color=red]

yes, yes you should its great ^^ :D :D

Yes. Bitingly funny, in a really mean kind of way. I adored it, as well as the second book, The Woad To Wuin. At least, I think that's what it's called. There's a third one out, but my library doesn't have it and I keep forgetting the name.

I'd recommend it to people.

I think I may have heard of it....

I haven't read it either, but it sounds worth a look. :)

Hmmm..I may be putting that on my book list, although I've never read anything quite like it. Sounds very entertaining indeed.

no

Never heard of it.

Is it anything like Robert Asprin's 'MythAdventures' stuff? 'Cause I've read some of those, and I liked them, 'cause they did pretty much that same thing.
