Check it out from the library, if you can--I didn't care for it much. I wasn't offended by it, just kind of disappointed. I guess I was expecting "Princess Bride" parody and instead got "Holy Grail", if you catch my meaning. Good once or twice, but not over and over, and the goofy outnumbers the clever. Which is bad for me, since I like to read books more than once (or twice), so it wasn't a good investment. Though it does have its good parts, so if you get it on sale, then go for it! Just try not to pay full price.
