I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.This is my second green-skinned offering as far as reading goes and, much like Brutal Kunnin' (although not quite as much) I really enjoyed this. Anything orcish, from the mind of Mike Brooks, is going to fun. Lots of fun.Our story follows Fingwit, part of a grot gang known as 'Da Fingers'. Much like the rest of grot kind, Fingwit, and his band of grottish companions, live in the hope of getting through their day not being eaten, to...
What a fun romp!
This is one of the best novellas I have ever read. It's funny, brilliantly descriptive and a wonderful story. Thanks Mike! FOR DA REVOLUSHUN
Como en Brutal Kunnin, Mike Brooks consigue retratar el pensamiento pielverde sin tener que usar un exceso de diálogos (es un coñazo tener que estar mirando en internet que significan las expresiones orkas). Además este libro crea un puente entre el clásico trasfondo de Gorkamorka y el actual trasfondo de 40k.
The Gobbo's Revenge follows a group of grots involved in a boarding action upon an Imperial warship. The story was lighthearted, funny, and easy to follow. Viewing the galaxy from a grot's perspective was quite a treat. Brooks did an excellent job of breaking down their role in the ork hierarchy, and their interactions with both orks and humans were engaging and often comedic.
Mike Brooks really seems to have mastered making Orks and Grots into compelling characters the reader actually cares about. A fun read with my son.
Really very fun.A grots-eye-view of a boarding action against an Imperial ship, this novella is a very welcome addition to the growing canon of Xenos focused 40k stories and makes a welcome companion piece to the author’s own Brutal Kunnin’, with nice overlaps of characters and events with that, and Nate Crowley’s Ghazghkull novel. Like Makari, Fingwit is an amiable companion and guide to Orkish Kultur who also periodically shines a light on the absurdity of the Imperium of Man. The novella has
Oi!! Listn up! cos I gots somesthing to tells ya! Da gobbo's revegens's a proper readie not onuver orky stuff but grot stuff proper! Da big red grot an da revolushon! So steals one today or whensever yous can!yeah it is fun but it ain't easy to write the mixture of cockny English and new york/ Chicago working class slang of the 1920ties with goblins as your protagonists. Mike Brooks nails the accent, the feel and dynamic that a grot book as if it where a tale told by one of them. It's short, fun...
Funny little story about some grots, who overcome the orcish control in their lives and start a (very) small revolution.
You have to love Gobbos!Following around a bunch of goblins on a humie spaceship, getting kicked by Orcs and humies alike, all the while being hilarious!I love the bits where reality clashes with the goblins's self-ascribed acts and motivations. "clinically making sure of the kill" vs. "frantically stabbing the throat 17 times"I was disappointed a bit that it was only a short story, I wanted more of that!
A bit outside my usual read. Very fun, quick and easy to read, and overall cute story.
Took a little while for me to get into this, but once it got going, I really started to love it. One of the best things to come out of recent WH40k books is all the xenos focused stuff Black Library is putting out. This is another great one to add to the growing list of such titles. I really hope Brooks continues Fingwit's story sometime.
Red Gobbo?No, I think this was Alpaharius, did the grits not state "we are all the red gobbo?" Classic Alpha Legion tactics. therefore I too am the Red Gobbo 😈
Quick and fun little read :)
masterpieceI generally don't like xenos books but this one was funny as hell and it made me think these grots were real.
I really wanted to like this one, but it was my first ork centric read and I might not have realised what I got myself into. The ork way of speaking, while amusing in short bouts, turned out to be really draining to read longer conversations in, possibly not aided by the fact English is not my native language. This really took away from my enjoyment of this read, and I really struggled to get through the first half of it.Credit where credit is due, though, when the story picked up in the second
Was a really funny read.
Zogging.good book dat dis was!
Mike Brooks writes another krackin', propa Orky story. Well, it follows a lot o' Grots and dey ain't really Orky, but it's still a ton of fun and tells a simple story that doesn't wear out it's welcome.For da Revolushun!
Great little story. Amazing how Brooks can sustain a gobbos voice/perspective and not only avoid the novelty wearing off but actually make it genuinely characterful and humorous.
