Ahoy there me mateys!

I borrowed a copy of this book from the library. The spine of the book had a pink unicorn, which of course made me think that it was a fantasy. But, no, it was not. It is a silly, goofy contemporary murder mystery based around an online gaming community called Zoth. And I loved it. I was in a mood and needed a light fluffy book that would cheer me up. This zany novel did the trick.

I kept smiling and smiling at the ridiculousness of the main character, Dahlia and her world. In spite of the funny premise, the book’s characters felt real enough to cheer them along. I actually miss geeks and crazy theatre people and oddballs in my real life. At one point in the past I was surrounded by these types of endearing and entertaining people. At the moment I have more “normal” people around, which is great, but it was nice to read about more quirky folk in this novel. Dahlia’s roommate is a hoot and a half.

So if you want a crazy novel that is dorky and makes you laugh, pick this one up.
