Light-hearted "mind candy", Suitable for all ages, Huge series: read 'em all 
Hard to find in UKPuns may annoy folk Suitable for all ages Humour may not appeal to everyone Suitable for most age groups, Puns galore Very different to early Xanth novelsUnsuitable for Bill GatesPuns galore Good history of the Space Marines, impressive fight scenes, believable characters. Not much for newbies to the 40k universe. unique, strong characters, attractive, cheap Fascinating history of mythical creatures.

Beautiful illustrations, Great Story Just that 'If' at the end, otherwise this would be a 5 star review
