Summary
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)!

what was with the rabbit?
why did that character turn into a rabbit? seemed really pointless honestly, I thought it was going to lead up to some big mystery but it was just some people like being rabbits. I had a few gripes with other stuff like this but in general it made me burst out laughing enough times that I can say I definitely enjoyed it. definitely a respectable first book for Yahtzee.

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

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

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

The future of AI genrated RPGs looks bleek fo NPCs
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

Loved it from start to finish
Listening to a book narrated by the author is often a great experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and narration by Yahtzee and can recommend this to anyone who does, or doesn't have an affinity with video games and likes a lighthearted story with some depth if you look for it.
