by Matthew David Brozik and Jacob Sager Weinstein

The Government Manual for New Wizards is a hilarious, mock-official handbook for wannabe witches and warlocks who need advice on recognizing the onset of wizardolescence, understanding the laws of magic (and the magic of laws), choosing (or being chosen by) the right magical items and...

Customer Reviews

Genius

The authors of this book have done it again...TGMFN Superheroes and Wizards are both very entertaining books, well written. I recommend BOTH books to any person interested in these topics. Especially those Harry Potter fans out there...if you like any topic related to Wizards you'll enjoy this book. The authors are obviously very creative and talented people.

This book put a spell on my heart

Does your sixth sense tell you that someone's watching you? Do the eyes marinating in your cauldron look at you a little funny? Do the gnarled trees whisper your name... to the authorities? Either you're paranoid, or the Government has gotten to you, dear witch or wizard. Your only recourse is to read The Government Manual for New Wizards and to follow the guidelines for societally responsible spellcasting. Otherwise, you might wind up with your broom impounded, your familiar in a kennel, and your wand in an evidence locker while you await trial for third-degree aggravated thaumaturgy. Buy this book and spare yourself the sad fate of Ignatius the Incarcerated.

Weinstein-Brozik duo are at it again!

If you loved "Superheroes" then you will be equally infatuated with "Wizards." What would take 7 years at Hogwarts will only take a few hours with the Wizards manual. You'll be casting spells and triggering mass-lynchings and protests from the Christian Right in no time! Oh, and it's really really funny, too.

Brillaint

This book embodies a brilliance rarely found in poignant simple fiction. It accomplishes a subtle level of satire at the level of Erasmus. A must buy for all.

Amazingly funny.

I don't usually do comedy, it isn't usually my thing, and most "funny" books grow old after awhile - but not this one! I was smiling the whole time I was reading it, and by the end, I was laughing so hard I was crying - literally! I cannot recommend this book enough for any fantasy and/or humor fan.
