Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Do you know how it feels like to find a nugget of gold in a stream of trash? It feels like reading Fairfaxe.
As ridiculous as the book description sounds and as devoid of information as the book cover displays, this novel is a nugget of literary gold. Do not let either the description or the cover stop you from tasting the words within these pages. It is well worth the price of admission. Don't believe me? Then at least trust Amazon's 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Why the 5-stars?
1. Brilliant storytelling. Where else would you find an intellectual dog-like creature journeying through a world fraught with stupidity? Yup, only here.
2. Memorable characters. The antagonists still haunt my dreams--2 months after having read this novel.
3. Beautiful setting. Ever walked around the coast of Central California? If not, google Big Sur and Monterey. Now imagine travelling in a fantasy world that magnifies their beauty.
4. Absurd plots. Like the reviewer before me, I laughed on several occasions--apparently graves and rocks contain comedic magic.

A fantasy novel for very smart youth, or even bitter intellectual adults!All the scenic adventuring and rampant action of a retro 1980's-style fantasy movie (such as The Dark Crystal), but jam packed with philosophical dissatisfaction and compulsive overthinking!Follow the reluctant Fairfaxe as he hauls his elderly canine-like body and chronically-busy brain into a strange world that is all-too-ready to frustrate, disgust and abuse sincere intellectuals (much like our own world, alas).Suitable for all ages, but decidedly not for all minds....
