Book Binging: Sir Apropos of Nothing series

Last week was indeed a good week for a binge. I went through Peter David's Sir Apropos of Nothing, The Woad to Wuin, and Tong Lashing. They were each a very easy read in the sense that David has that ungarbled style that comes from a background of comics and graphic novels.

The first book is the best in that it introduces the main character, Apropos, who is the antithesis to your basic hero, without being so noble as to be an anti-hero. The following two books spend too much time rehashing or making reference to events that occurred in the previous book(s). I'm more of a science fiction reader versus a fantasy reader but I still got enough of the jokes and references to enjoy it. Even if you are neither a science fiction nor a fantasy reader the series is still an enjoyable read for anyone tired of typical hero types. I love me some flawed human type characters.
