( ) This collection is a hit and miss collection, like so many of the genre. It depends greatly on the editing, what is included, what is left out, and how it is presented. There are some wonderful zingers in here, as anyone familiar with the bard would expect, but some of the items selected aren't actually insults so much as curses or other ramblings. The presentation is all right, but the format leads to repetitiveness, because the insults are presented in three different formats. I also don't think it was helped by the decision of the editors not to include what character they were spoken by, or to, because they felt they would be more able to be utilized by readers to insult their own tormenters. While I love the insults here, I suspect I would never actually call someone by most of these names. It is more interesting as a curiosity than as a reference. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
