One More Last Time

What makes it funny?

Montana tells his own story with more sincerity than good sense. The audiobook reviewer singles out that foolish first-person voice: his limitations supply jokes between the fights, while moments of emotion give him more to carry than a weapon.

The comedy at work

A formidable body does little to improve Montana’s judgment. Ugland gives an RPG hero’s strength and opportunities to a man the author describes as a lovable idiot, leaving his own narration to expose the gap.

Try this if…

Readers who want leveling, magic systems and frequent action with a fallible hero have a clear reason to meet Montana. His search for a quieter life adds a personal aim to the game’s progression.

Good to know

The opening setup involves suicidal despair and a gun, so the comic adventure begins from a dark place.
