Rudolph is not your average Christmas story. Find out what Santa and the reindeer will do to keep the spirit of Christmas from disappearing. Mark Teppo is one of my favorite authors. He puts just enough unexpected twist to keep you enthralled to the end.
It was a wonderfully done, was a wonderful representation of the season.
This book is just such a confusing mess of a story that I can't even finish it. 200 pages in and I'm giving up. I agree with the other 1 star review, in that I believe that the positive ratings could only be from friends of the author. I thought that this story seemed so promising at first but it quickly went down hill. Leave this one on the bookshelf, it's not worth your time.
Didn't finish it. I had great hopes but couldn't get through the beginning.
If you are looking for a Holiday story and are wanting something a bit edgy and different, Rudolph! is the book for you. The story begins at the North Pole the night before the night before Christmas, where Santa is frantically searching the internet working to fulfill a last minute Christmas wish. Rudolph, Santa, Bernie the Elf and the rest of the reindeer team promptly set out on several no-holds-barred trips with the Mark V Sled, and of course the reindeer fly. They have a variety of high tec...
DNFd. Maybe I'll pick it back up next christmas. Who knows.
One extra star for amusing premise... this book could have been a great, fun, read but instead I stalled out at pg 147. Plot-wise the book is a bit of a meanders mess and none of the characters grabbed me enough to keep me reading.
Well. I can say I never read anything like this book. But I’m not much of one for fantasy or Sci-Fi. Not that this is Sci-Fi, but you must, absolutely, suspend all preconceptions about Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Santa, the elves, Mrs. Claus, the North Pole and all, ALL other Christmas traditions. And if you have read this far be warned and be aware, this is NOT, I repeat, NOT a children’s book. NOT.Let me see if I get this straight. Mrs. Claus has an iMac and Santa has a stun gun. He sends
Sadly this one wasn't for me. It's not a bad book, but the humour just didn't click with me, and so I DNFed it at about 60% when I noticed I was just looking forward to finally getting to the end, instead of enjoying the story.This is a funny and weird Christmas story for awhile raiders. With elfs that aren't very nice, Santa shooting cherubim, reindeers with tactical gear and a crazy quest.It should have been exactly my sort of book, but sadly I just didn't engage with the characters or the sto...
This book had me on the first page. Heck, the fist sentence. I mean, come on, how can you read: "The night before the night before Christmas I caught Santa Claus trying to hack into the Vatican's computer system." and not want to know what happens next and how the story ends? It's not often a book surprises me the way Rudolph surprised me. It is a wonderfully weird story that somehow pleased both the atheist, anti-Xmas, hater of the Great Shopping Holiday part of me, and the part of me that reme...
If this book had only lasted until the end of the first two stories (page 189) I would have given it 5 stars, but as I really didn't enjoy the last 110 pages that much, I can't. This first section had me laughing so hard I snorted and scared the cat and, towards the end of it, crying - it was utterly brilliant. A word of warning: This book is most definitely not a children's story.
This was a very interesting read. I started out laughing quite a bit based on the phrasing used. Then it took some weird turns where it felt like the reindeer were like Brian from Family Guy, and it turned into a big action film with reindeer using weapons and going through Hell. Then the story completely changed direction again, so it felt like a completely different book. It took a while for me to get through, but upon finishing, I found I liked it more than I expected 60% of the way through.
An interesting, albeit odd, romp through the modern Santa Claus myth, SciFi, Dante, Shakespeare, Broadway plays, Seattle, and more.
Wasn't sure what to expect from this book because I hate Christmas, but I know Mark well enough not to expect saccharin. This was therefore surprisingly hard hitting. A madcap romp through purgatory and hell and even the theatre! Hilarious at times, dark, surprising, and sad. It did make me think twice about hating Christmas. Aren't rituals important?My main niggle with the book, which did bother me more than it should, was the idea that in all the years of fulfilling wishes, no kid ever asked S...
I won this through First Reads, I entered because the premise was intriguing and original. I jumped it to the front of my review line when it arrived, I don't regret that decision in the slightest. A Christmas story that isn't a Christmas but is a Christmas story. It was funny and action packed. Rudolph and elves, Dante's Inferno, and James Bond/Batman/Ironman level gadgets. This story was a great read and great fun.
