GREAT review of 'Manna-X'
Another GREAT review of Manna-X!!!
ALL MY BOOKS WILL BE FREE ON THE 14TH AND 15 OF OCTOBER (MONDAY+TUESDAY). BE SURE TO GET THE ONES YOU HAVEN'T GOT!!!!
http://www.amazon.com/Dani-J-Caile/e/B00CDX0HSM
Time travel, recovery of memory from a dead body and said Manna-X machine are just some parts of this highly original and well written piece, whose humour shows parallels to the great Pythons, Pratchett and Douglas Adams.
Hobgoblins, a Hungarian librarian and Satan are other figures in the colourful cast that on its own would guarantee an enjoyable reading experience. I smirked and laughed out loud at their sill or eccentric behaviours - after all, they (and we) behave all like monkeys in the eye of the author, and who could disprove him! Caile is brilliant at pointing out the absurd of the mundane and the mundane in his supernatural/ paranormal...
However,in this book the plot is particularly evolved and the 'hunt' for Manna-X and the narrative structure are cleverly set up and executed.
This is a great book for fans of absurd and comic fantasy but also for fans of satire and intelligent observational humour. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Clever, funny and a good story, October 12, 2013
This review is from: Manna-X (Kindle Edition)
"Manna-X" by Dani J. Caile is a greatly entertaining fantasy story set
in the realms of both, heaven and earth. Bureaucracy governs heaven as
much as it does on earth. God (Reginald), death (Graham) and the angels
argue over supply issues and the request for Manna-X (which is by now
several thousand years late).Time travel, recovery of memory from a dead body and said Manna-X machine are just some parts of this highly original and well written piece, whose humour shows parallels to the great Pythons, Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

New reviews of 'Man by a tree' FREE on 14th+15th October!
Thank you Christoph and Tallyrand! Two 5* reviews! This ebook will be free on Monday and Tuesday :-)
Format:Kindle Edition
"Man by a Tree" by Dani J. Caile is an entertaining and clever short
novel in the tradition of Douglas Adams, Monthy Python and Terry
Pratchett.
It playfully concerns God, Death, Satan and some angels in their daily routine of doing their job. Trying to see those mythical creatures as human or employees with job descriptions and a sense of humour worked remarkably well for me. Unlike other works in the religious parody/ fantasy spectrum Caile never turns disrespectful or offensive, his story is mostly pleasant and light hearted.
Making Death and God mere employers however serves as a reflection on modern life, the changes for better and for worse since the bible was written and when the concept of God and Satan entered our human consciousness. Would I like to live forever, I wondered, when everything established and comfortably known is replaced by new things? I very much liked Graham Reader (as the Grim Reaper is known in the book)and his fellow immortals.
If you cannot see the deeper and philosophical side to this story you can still enjoy it for the playful and original writing and plot. Very readable.

I have been a fan of this author since reading Manna-X
and this book doesn't disappoint. It's one of Dani J Caile's early work
but all the elements of the later works are here. Recommended for
anyone looking for a bit of intellectual escapism.

This morning I was in the mood to write out the plot for HTBACI7ES. So, be ready, it'll be coming out of my head soon. Perhaps for NaNoWriMo...
