Good series, fun reading, well worth time to read it.  I couldn't quite give it five stars, not sure why not.  But would recommend for anyone who enjoys military sci do and action adventure.  Well done Mr Brown, thanks.

I really enjoyed these books. They were fun and engaging.  Some of the characters, like her grandma Mazur and a few of the people she chases can be quite funny and sometimes made me laugh out loud.  I'm from Jersey and liked having the fictional events taking place in my real back yard.

This is a good read.  Young adults and people reading for fun will probably enjoy this the best.

GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD is a heck of a lot of fun of a certain kind. The best way I think I can describe it is to say that reading this book allowed me to recapture the pleasure I had, at about the age of ten, of reading my father's old, old copies of books like TREASURE ISLAND and KIDNAPPED.

The sentences, from the very start, are long enough to require more than average attention. See for example, the first sentence: "For numberless years a myna had astounded travelers to the caravansary with its ability to spew indecencies in ten languages, and before the fight broke out everyone assumed the old blue-tongued devil on its perch by the fireplace was the one who maligned the giant African with such foulness and verve." If you mind sentences that take up a quarter of the page, this book will vex you. (I enjoyed them myself.)

Also, as with my experience of reading those old adventure books, I found myself confronted by an unusual number of words that I did not know the precise definitions of. This will make some people crazy. I enjoyed it, looked a few of them up, and mostly, as I did as kid, I just figured out the meanings from the context.

That is not to say that GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD is some kind of dusty-feeling homage to old adventure stories. Far from it. There are a number of very grown-up pleasures in the book. I laughed out loud a number of times. I won't tell you where, to avoid spoiling the story in any way, but this is a funny, funny book. If you aren't sure it is supposed to be funny, read the chapter titles, which start with "On Discord Arising from Excessive Love of a Hat" for Chapter One.

I was also much delighted by the illustrations. Gary Gianni did a bang-up job on the art for this book. There is about one black and white drawing in each chapter, so you have fifteen fine pictures to look forward to when you start the book. I will likely look up the Wandering Star edition of CONAN OF CIMMERIA, just to enjoy more of his work. Gianni has done many other things, but reading GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD has left me in the mood for more adventure!

I should also say that I ended up loving the characters and the way they talk to each other. GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD is a great road story and a great buddy story.

GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD is not for everyone. If you love language and love adventure stories, though, it is a fine ride. Thumbs up!

Lots of fun to read nicly condensed books....like getting a year of education in a few hours. The variety is certain to appeal to a wide range of readers.

Not my typical read, but Pamela is a friend of mine and I downloaded it on my wife's Kindle. We all read things that are not our favorite genre's and it is good from time to time to do that to see what others are finding enjoyable. This is a good read with great characters, island knowledge, and a protagonist who doesn't win at everything. The men are shadowy so you have to follow the women as main characters and that's fun now and then for a man reader. I see others have enjoyed it immensely. It is fun to read and you get a smile when you close the cover for the last time.

Reading this was like visiting a good friend. It was nice to come back to and I looked forward to reading a few chapters every night. Not a super page-turner, but the humor was quite good, the characters interesting and the plot sound. I laughed quite a bit while reading it. A nice take on Arthur's Camelot with quite a few twists throughout, and well orchestrated shenanigans. The various Ladies of the Lakes (and ponds, etc.) added quite a bit to the humor, along with all the other twisty tidbits of medieval cultural strangeness. I liked it. You should also pick up Gods Behaving Badly if you enjoy this one.

It's just full of great fun stories... and according to the author, they're mostly true with the names changed to protect the guilty.  G.J. Cook has put together a well written book of stories about characters and events that will entertain and intrigue.  Tommy T is a fun off-beat character with his unique journey through life - as are the others.  Get your copy and enjoy some great stories.
