Commentary on The Thesoddy
"Lewis Carroll
meets Homer in this parody of The Odyssey. .
. rhymes, bad puns and outright lunacy.
Thesod follows roughly the same path as Odysseus, with a stop at a place similar to the Land of the Lotus Eaters and
an excursion into the Underworld—or rather, the “Underwhere”—a land that may elicit a few laughs from
readers familiar with The Odyssey."
- Kirkus Reviews
Good for a few laughs and bedtime stories
(3 of 5 stars). "The Thesoddy" may be based on Greek mythology,
but its style owes more to Lewis Carroll than Homer. Full of nonsense words and cringingly hilarious puns such as the nomad
Hatter and the underworld of Tartarsauce . . . [The Thesoddy] will still provide kids a segway into a world far more interesting
than Harry Potter.

“I laughed a little, then stopped to look at the pictures, then laughed again.
This happened many times.”

“The claims of extraterrestrial
influence on earthly literature are completely unfounded . . . although it would explain a lot about this book.”

“I’ve heard of poetic license, but perhaps we
should review the laws one more time.”
