Customer Reviews

Lunatic plot and crazy action sequences.

Mr. Pollotta writes fight scenes worthy of The Matrix--grand and chaotic. He uses a fair dose of humor, but never so much that the narrative turns goofy. When you read the opening chapter, you will not think my description above applies. He starts each of his Bureau 13 books with a separate scene that sets up the plot, but is not part of it. In these opening chapters, he writes with a steady hand worthy of Stephen King or Tim Powers, proving that he doesn't write humorous stories because he is incapable of being serious. One day we will see a book from this man that transcends the fantasy-comedy sub-genre. Nevertheless, I hope the Bureau 13 stories keep coming, because they are immensely entertaining.

Beyond Funny

I have a vast library of books, including great classics...but it is THIS book that gets the most reading time. Its truly funny each and every time that I read it. The characters are well fleshed out and unique, the B13 world was masterfully used and the book is just a fantastic read, over and over. Highly recommended.

Best in the series

This was the first one of the series that I read. I loved it so much that I dug up the other two books and the original RPG. Next thing I know, I ran the game every Sunday for years. All thanks to this book. If you're a fan of the Evil Dead series, Men in Black or Buffy; then you owe it to yourself to check out the start of it all. Read these books and you'll laugh, and wish they made this into a movie/tv show instead.

What else can I say but - wow!

Each and every time I think there is no possible way for the author to make the next book better, and each time I'm proven wrong. From the fight at the smoke house to the (will not mention location here. Don't want to give away the surprise ending), the action is as nonstop as the jokes. How our hero Ed beats the villian was just about the funniest thing I've ever read, and yet totally logical. I have managed to find an old copy of his sci-fi novel ILLEGAL ALIENS, and can only hope its half as good as this series.

Worth the trouble of finding

Full Moonster was the first Bureau 13 book I ever read. Recently, I found Doomsday Exam, and the push is on to find Bureau 13. Full Moonster had some of the BEST laughs I've gotten reading in a long time. The cure for Lycanthropy alone made me take a break from reading just to catch my breath. This series definately deserves movie treatment, or even better, a TV series, since so few anymore are worth watching. Nick, thanks for a great book, and I'll hope to catch you at Inconjunction sometime in the future.
