About this listen

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 awfully 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 wrong, 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: angry 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)!

interesting idear of first book, character is a bit unsympathetic for a suicidal depressed zombie whose exsistense is a whim of his developers. Slight similarities to 'Only You Can Save Us', but wat more sass and sarcastic dialogue. definitely enjoyable start to listen to Yahtzee Croshaw

Sure some of it was more obvious, but it was entertaining and funny and I enjoyed it.
Yahtzee isn't the best narrator but he is funny and believes in his characters.
It felt like it ended a bit suddenly in a way, but that's often the case when you love characters, you don't want them to stop existing.

Brilliant if predictable in places

A really fresh perspective on story telling. After jam I had to come straight into another book.

Love listening to the author narrate

Loved the story and the characters (most of them anyway). Was nice to see that Jim never truly understands, perspective is everything.

Great listen

Yazhtees humour carries the books lagging elements, but overall still an enjoyable read with fun characters, fantastic voice acting and a satisfying enough ending

Funny, if a tad repetitive

Barring the repeated use of the R word, this has fast become one of my faves. Yahtzee's biting sense of humour and penchant for unique mental images via metaphors and adds to the characters and worldbuilding with some great satire of both the fantasy genre and the games industry. Looking forward to reading his other works (and the next episode of Fully Ramblomatic).

Terry Pratchett by way of every jaded game journalist made manifest.

The overall audio need's some polishing but the rest is just awesome. Wort every minute spent listening to it. Great job. Keep it up.

I wan't a Slippery John book now!! :)
