The Ugly

The Ugly by Alexander Boldizar makes for an interesting read. Muzhduk the Ugli the Fourth is a absolutely huge mountain man from Siberia who decides to tackle the last mountain, "Harvard Law School" in order to claim back what a dishonest American lawyer has stolen. Muzduk will use words as weapons instead of large boulders. What follows is a hilarious journey that takes Muzhduk from his home in the mountains to Africa to the "wilds" of an American campus. The book has a very dry humor but I did find myself having to put the book down from time to time because I found the writing to be a bit too dry and I needed to take a break with something lighter. It is a very good book though and really worth a read through to the end. I received a copy of this book from the publishers via Netgalley for free in exchange for an honest review.
