Review of 'NPCs' on 'Goodreads'

I started this just looking for something kind of amusing.

I'll be completely transparent here: I was not looking for much. A few cheap laughs, maybe, and a couple of hours of very light entertainment.

I did not expect it to become more than that.

It starts very slowly, and I did set it down early on because it seemed like it was going the obvious way with all the characters. I wasn't expecting the characters to actually realize that, though, and once they do it starts moving forward quickly.

This was an interesting concept and well done. The combination of the characters in the other world and those in our world playing an RPG was different, and we (my younger son and I) could really get carried away by it.

It was an interesting and amusing combination. Thumbs up!
