While it's not as great as the first installment, it's still just as fun, focuses on mythical beings and fictional badasses!

This was a nice review of some of the legends I already knew, and a nice introduction to badasses I hadn't yet met.

This book is a lot of fun and silly. It's probably geared to someone who thinks South Park rocks - which it does.
You can't take book too seriously because the author took a lot of liberties with the stories. But stories starring Gilgamesh, Mordred, Minos and Medea ... I'm pretty sure people have embellished their stories over the years.
I applaud the author picking some not as well-known subjects like ... Baba Yaga, Oya, and Bradamant of Clairmont. Who? I thought the same thing but we read books to learn something. Just don't quote this guy if you are planning to write a essay that determines your GPA.

If you don't mind the complete irreverence for everything and everyone this book covers you'll probably enjoy it. I didn't know the author ran a website of tthings like this, I just found some of the stories and characters interesting as he covers everything from history to mythology. I definitely just skimmed the pop culture ones - I actually didn't even really read the Dalek chapter. But the others were fun.
