4thace reviewed The tough guide to Fantasyland by Diana Wynne Jones
Review of 'The tough guide to Fantasyland' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
It featured a fine imagination and an appreciation for the ridiculous elements in the fantasy genre, but the author was straitjacketed by the format and could not really come up with something that one would call an enjoyable read. It combined the authoritativeness of a swords and sorcery tale with the wild abandon of an encyclopedia.
