5.0 out of 5 stars Burly Go Home: Fabulous literary masterpiece written by one of the greatest authors of all time.
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018
John Swartzwelder has a way with words. He combined the 26 letters of the English alphabet into words and combined those words into this literary masterpiece entitled Burly Go Home which will most likely stand the test of time. A highly entertaining read that is almost guaranteed to make you laugh and smile at times.

Not my favorite Burly story but I still recommend it. As usual, many laugh-out-loud moments and will definitely re-read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Getting Reacquainted
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020
It's been too long since I've read an epic Frank Burly tale. This one apparently came out in 2017 and I had no idea until mid-2019. Perhaps I needed to re-read a couple of the previous stories, to get myself into the right mindset, because this one fell a bit flat for me. One of my primary criticisms was Swartzwelder's overuse of certain plot devices, namely time travel and aliens, so it's strange of me to say that the one he uses here could've been built up and utilized a bit more.

Having said that, I'd still recommend getting this, especially if you've read one or all the stories. Also, check out John's other book about a heroic squirrel - it had even more laughs than this one IMO!
