Very enjoyable. More enjoyable if you're familiar with the Schlock Mercenary comic. Note: I have the "commentary" edition, where the Tagons, Murtaugh, and Schlock have all written things next to many/most of the maxims.

If you're a big Schlock Mercenary fan, this book is a delight. Now, you finally have all the Maxims in one place, instead of trying to piece them together from the comics. I got the defaced version, and the commentary from the characters (especially Schlock's comments) just added to my enjoyment. Not something you want to just read all at once, but fun to pick up and read a few at a time.
