Now this book, compared to Screw the Roses give me the Thorns is great. A lot of information for novices and fun-seekers. Screw the Roses was boring and almost like a manual on how to build torture chambers. Definitely not the once in awhile romp into variety. This book is very informative, yet light hearted and humorous at times. I recommend this one for all beginners or just your average open-minded individual who likes some fantasy and fun.
