Review

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Tap and Die by Lancelot Schaubert is a Western fiction parody that is both unique in its own way and entertaining as hell. This makes this book a completely polarising read—you’d either love it or not like it at all. So it’s better to know what the book is actually about before you start reading it instead of feeling let down due to unreasonable expectations (as I’ve witnessed in most reviews for this book—know your genres, people!)

Anyway, I loved it. It made me laugh more than I cared to count and it left me in comparatively good spirits when I actually began reading it so I have no reason to complain. I loved how the author referred to the “author” as God and had stuff going on for no apparent reason because that’s how most Western fiction books are; the author promised a parody, and that’s exactly what he delivered.

I would recommend this book to all the fans of Western fiction readers and Cowboy fans as they would definitely get it (no offence to the ones who didn’t :D)
