Title: A Look at Cliches
Product review: This book looks at the cliches from the fantasy genre. I bought it because, as a fantasy author, I figured it could help me steer clear of cliches. It does offer laughs, and I was glad to see that I'm not the only one who has noticed that caravans in fantasy literature are ALWAYS ambushed early on. But I thought it could have been more complete. There's no entry for 'love', and that's usually part of any fantasy novel. So, my main complaint is a lack of important entries. Also, the entries that do exist often just point out a cliche and move on. Yes, we all know that the 'slender youth' is usually a girl in disguise. Is it really that entertaining to just read that fact? It's the clever comments accompanying the cliche that are entertaining, not just the cliche alone. The entries too often just list the cliches and are dull because of it.
