I mean, the goblin cleaning crew is quite freaky efficient but doesn't really see sanitation the way us poor humans do.Īpart from that, working at JWW is pretty cool, I don't know why Paul keeps freaking out complaining. How else would you make it back to the office before 5pm? And believe me, you don't want to be at the office after 5pm. Good thing there are car repair shops managed by creepy lovely 12-year-olds. Except when Monika breaks down in the middle of the countryside. Monika is German (obviously) and speaks English with a terrible accent but she's a pretty decent GPS. Look at Paul here: he has a temperamental company car named Monika. Well let me tell you, bums are as underrated as insanity. Hey, who would have thought the bum was mightier than the sword? Not you, I bet. But I have to admit Paul proved quite resourceful in that particular matter.

And that he'd be expected to oversee wyvern regulations. I mean, no one bothered to tell him he was now in the Hero business. Especially since he started interning in the Pest Control department. Then again, every day seems to be a bad day for Paul lately. Well, they do that on good days, you don't want to know what happens on bad days. The kind that turn their employees into staplers and photocopiers when they misbehave. Nothing special except that his bosses are magical practitioners. You know, your typical, boring, 9 to 5 job. And I'm pretty sure that without the help of the Crazy Magic Box most readers would probably look like this after going through one of Holt's books: He throws every single wacky idea floating around his little head in the box, says a few magic words and tada! A coherent story is automatically sent to his publisher.

Then again, there might be another explanation: Tom Holt has a Crazy Magic Box. Because you have to be either supremely talented or totally deranged to write stuff like this. I still haven't decided if the guy should be locked in an insane asylum for life or given a lifetime residency at Mensa. Yes, sanity is greatly overrated in Tom Holt's world. What? You think 'all over the place' = bad book? Well, you've obviously never read anything by Tom Holt before.

Not that I don't want to or that I'm too lazy to bother, it's just that the whole thing is so all over the place you'd have to be as insane as Tom Holt to try and review it.
