Book Overview
Once upon a time, the king of a mysterious castle found himself out of place. The odd thing was that the time was the future and the place was New York City! Castle Perilous had been a universe unto itself until it started living up to its name. Now it is a gateway to thousands of universes, each increasingly bizarre and more bewildering. Behind every door there is a room for every fantasy and around each corner a perilous journey for every inhabitant. With its population sent to otherworldly realms and demented demons taking their place, will anyone find their way home in time? The stone walls may be the only stable element in this fantastic fable, as time and place disappear before one's eyes. Pandora's box has never been so big!

A worthy sequal to the great Castle Perlious book and the second novel in an eight book series. Castle for Rent takes right off in an almost disorientating way if being read from a cold start. As with most series it's recomended that a reader read all the books in the correct order. For maximum enjoyment familarize yourself with Castle Perlious first.That being said, Castle for Rent is presented in a very readable and highly enjoyable way. Filled with DeChancies own humor/fantasy style in a masterful example of a "read in one sitting" book. Like many of the Castle books, a reader can easily read for two hours without realizing it. The character development and storyline evolve in a wonderfully smooth manner after the first chapter or so.Highly Reccomended for any fan of Douglas Adams stories, Terry Gilliam films or any person who appreciates "smart comedy" that refuses to take itself seriously.
