I read this back in the 90s.

It was truly so funny that it left a lasting impression on me.

The humor was of a kind that could make one burst out laughing uncontrollably.

Even after all these years, the memory of it still lingers in my mind.

I often find myself thinking that I want to read it again someday.

To relive those moments of pure joy and hilarity would be such a wonderful experience.

I wonder if it would have the same effect on me now as it did back then.

Perhaps it would bring back a flood of memories from that era.

Regardless, I am certain that it would still be a source of great entertainment.

I look forward to the day when I can once again pick up that piece of writing and be amused by its comical charm.

"Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming (Millennial Contest #1)" by Roger Zelazny - The title immediately caught my attention with its humorous tone, and that's why I decided to bring it home from my beloved used book store. Comedic fantasy isn't typically my go-to genre, but as I started reading, I couldn't help but notice the resemblance to the popular "Despicable Me" franchise. The story had a similar charm and playfulness that made it an enjoyable read.

It was filled with unexpected twists and turns, and the characters were well-developed and engaging. The author's writing style was light-hearted and easy to follow, which made it a great choice for a quick and entertaining read.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys comedic fantasy or is looking for a fun and unique read. It's a great addition to any bookshelf and is sure to bring a smile to your face. Happy Reading!

Odavno me nešto nije ovoliko nasmejalo.

It has been a long time since something has made me laugh so much.

This particular incident was truly hilarious. I was in a situation where I least expected to find humor, but there it was.

A series of events unfolded in the most unexpected and comical way. People's reactions and the absurdity of the circumstances had me doubled over with laughter.

It was a moment that I will surely remember for a long time.

It reminded me of the importance of finding joy in the simplest of things and not taking life too seriously all the time.

I am grateful for this unexpected source of entertainment that brought a smile to my face and lightened my mood.

It just goes to show that sometimes, the best things in life are the ones that catch us by surprise.

This link leads to a review on a blog. It's likely that the review is about a particular topic, perhaps a book, movie, or some other form of media. The title "Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming" is quite intriguing and makes one wonder what the review will entail. Maybe it's a critical analysis of a story that challenges the traditional concept of a prince charming. Or perhaps it's a humorous take on the idea. Without actually clicking on the link and reading the review, it's hard to say for sure. However, the fact that it's on a blog called "Sarah Overbooked" suggests that the author, Sarah, has a lot to say and may offer a unique perspective. It would be interesting to explore the review and see what insights and opinions she has to share.

This book truly gives off a Zelazny vibe, much like when he takes on NaNoWriMo. In other words, if one were to make the (admittedly unfair) claim that Zelazny was simply an older and inferior Terry Pratchett, this particular work would be a great basis for that argument.

There is the typical Zelazny blend of standard fantasy elements with an irreverent modern style and whatever else pops into his mind. Once again, there is the familiar sense that the plot is hurtling forward in a succession of arbitrary vignettes, lacking a strong overarching design. While none of the plot threads are truly lost, and the structure isn't as artless as it seems, there is definitely a feeling of something being thrown together hastily. There are clever justifications for the various oddities, but they come across as mere props. One gets the impression that the author is aware of this. There is a subplot about the angels building the first Gothic cathedral, with occasional glowing reports on their progress, only to have it collapse towards the end for vaguely specified reasons related to flying buttresses.

The female characters all seem to be from the era when Playboy was a major publisher of SF short stories. They aren't stupid or contemptible per se, but they are conspicuously sexy and rather soft around the edges, and any agency they possess is brief and in service of male agency.

I picked up this book because I was feeling sick and had a fuzzy brain, and needed something not too taxing. It served that purpose quite adequately.

I'm going to skip the "read-the-book-first-and-then-comment" part because I've already read it three times. It's an incredibly funny novel.

Don't read its sequels though, they are horrible! You can imagine my genuine happiness when I walked into my local library, not looking for anything specific, and then discovered this book. Finally, it's in English.

Plus, the fact that the book has been out of print for quite some time now makes it even more special.

Anyway, if by any chance you come across this novel, be sure to give it a try.

You might just find yourself laughing out loud and thoroughly enjoying the story.

It's a hidden gem that's worth uncovering and experiencing for yourself.

So, keep your eyes open and don't miss out on this wonderful book if you have the opportunity.

This book really desired to be humorous, yet it is predominantly dull.

The story perhaps isn't the issue; it might have had the potential to be funny. However, it is told in a truly awful manner.

Sorry to say so.

And, let me add this: there are two authors, one publisher, and (possibly) a copy-editor, and not one of them was able to get the names of the Italian seas correct!

Rome is located on the Mediterranean side, while Ravenna is on the Adriatic side, and not the other way around.

This lack of attention to detail is quite disappointing and detracts from the overall quality of the book.

It makes one wonder if more care and effort could have been put into the writing and editing process to make this a more engaging and enjoyable read.

As it stands now, it fails to live up to its potential and leaves the reader feeling rather underwhelmed.

Continuing my (re-)reading of the Zelazny canon, I now turn to his first collaboration with Robert Sheckley. I'm not a big enthusiast of comedy in prose. I rarely come across something that makes me burst out laughing or even chuckle softly. Don't misunderstand me - I do enjoy comedy in film, TV, or theatre. However, I believe a significant portion of its appeal stems from tone and presentation. It simply doesn't typically work for me when presented on the page. (This is precisely why I'm not a fan of Terry Pratchett.) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy might be the exception. (It's the only one that readily springs to mind.) So, what were my thoughts on this particular work? It's lighthearted, well-written, and there are even some humorous moments scattered throughout. (Or moments that I could envision being funny in a different medium.) It takes a while to gain momentum. The scenes with Thomas Scrivener at the beginning seem to lead nowhere, and the authors swiftly shift the focus to the millennial challenge, a thousand-year contest between the forces of good and evil. The challenge is a bit absurd, and the characters are equally so - and I mean that in the most complimentary way. The humor is intended to arise from this absurdity. However, the authors seem to throw in anything and everything they can think of. I mean, Santa Claus makes an appearance (more than once, actually). What on earth is that all about? It almost gives the impression that Zelazny and Sheckley were attempting to outdo each other and writing this merely to amuse one another. I don't want to say that I didn't enjoy it. It's fun, lighthearted, and silly, but it's just not to my personal taste. And there are two more books in the series to look forward to (?).

I found that this work is more of a writer's jam rather than a co-written book in the traditional sense. It has a very light and fun tone. I have really enjoyed some of Zelazny's previous works, but I am unfamiliar with Robert Sheckley. Reading this, one gets the impression that they simply improvised some funny scenes and then wrote them down. The narrative is cohesive, yet it meanders at times. It wasn't exactly to my taste, but I can imagine that if I were quite a bit younger, I probably would have found it really funny. It may not be on the same level as Gaiman and Pratchett, but it's still nice to see writers experimenting and collaborating. It shows the creativity and flexibility that can come from different minds working together. It makes me wonder what other interesting works could come from such collaborations in the future.

Well, once again I made an attempt to read Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming (Millennial Contest, #1) by Roger Zelazny & Robert Sheckley.

However, it was a no-go. I have a liking for both authors when they write separately, and I thought I might enjoy their collaboration as well. But the problem is that the book is supposed to be humorous, and yet I just couldn't find it funny at all.

I managed to read maybe around 100 pages, but then I simply put it down. The reason was sheer lack of will to pick it back up.

It's quite disappointing really, as I had high hopes for this book. But sometimes, despite our expectations, a book just doesn't click with us. Maybe I'll give it another try in the future, but for now, it's sitting on my shelf, unread and forgotten.
