So I met this author at a conference, and thought that he was so interesting to speak with that I would pick up his book. I am so glad I did. Monster Hunter International was funny, interesting, and had compelling characters. It was a little bit like the Expendables meets American Gods for me, and I completely loved it. I now want to learn a little bit more about guns so I can understand all the gun nut terminology, but other than that it was a fantastic read. I look forward to reading the sequel, and his new series/other books that come out later in the year.
