Product Description
In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim couldn’t be less interested in saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. He’s dreadfully grumpy. Plus, he’s been dead for about sixty years. When a renegade necromancer wrenches him from eternal slumber and into a world gone terribly, bizarrely incorrect, all Jim wants is to find a way to die properly, once and for all.
On his side, he’s got a few shambling corpses, an inept thief, and a powerful death wish. But he’s up against tough odds: mad mobs of adventurers, a body falling apart at the seams and a team of programmers racing a deadline to hammer out the last few bugs in their AI.
Mogworld is the debut novel from video-game icon Yahtzee Croshaw (Zero Punctuation). Mogworld is a comic fantasy novel in the tradition of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, with a video-game twist: the main character is a minor character in a massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

I just finished reading this (factually 2 minutes ago), took me two days for the 410 pages of the book. I factually couldn’t place it down, even skipped a class to read it. Appealing fantasy epic, with hilarious jokes from Yahtzee. I’ll admit, if you are either not a gamer, or not into the “standard fantasy genre” (as the book’s leader would say) then you might not like it. But if you are a fan of Zero Punctuation, comedic tales, or MMORPG’s I highly recommend the book. It had dark, dry, sarcastic humor, a compelling tale, and a pretty amusing ending. Also an impressive job for a first book Yahtzee.

Being a long-term fan of Yahtzee, having memorized his essays and additional features, I was looking forwards to this book with some quietly building anticipation; and while I wasn’t really expecting this to be a “smart” fantasy book, I knew it would be hilarious. I was incorrect for the ex-: the book’s plot, writing style, and characters were surprisingly incredible. This is exactly my thought of a perfect book—-that and some illustrations would be nice….and preferably some boobies.

Heya, keep it simple then: I could not stop laughing. Well, up until the end where the incredible plot takes precedence over the comedy, but really worth it. Croshaw succeeds in telling anything but the classic heroic tale. Who needs a hero when you have a protaganist? Highly recommend this.

What an incredible novel. Yahtzee has succeeded in writing a book which is pure enjoyment from front to back, and yet is about as substantive as a comedic novel can be. I can’t start to convey every aspect of this book which made it so excellent- they are simply too copious.
The tale is compelling, the humor pure gold– this book merits all the positive adjectives one would expect from an Amazon review, and more!
Bravo, Yahtzee. I hope this is only your beginning.

This is a hilarious and very well written book describing the adventures of an NPC in an MMO world. The sentient NPC wonders around his world, describing his surroundings with pithy comments and commentary about the scenery of his reality. This book firmly places the leader in the same league as the Discworld creator Terry Pratchett. If you like Terry Pratchett or gaming, I highly recommend this.
