The greatest book I have ever read. A winning hero in Red Orm, four separate adventures that all flow into one, written with incredible wit. I can’t say enough about this book.

This was so fun and enjoyable! A bit of dated content here and there for sure, but for the most part, this story holds up well and is just an amazing read.

My thought that NYRBs are worth reading even if it’s not your thing, continues. I’m not big on these sort of travel/adventure stories, but I’m glad I read this. Orm and his adventures were really interesting to read about. I loved meeting all the different people he met. So, while not my thing, still worth reading.
