I'm not sure how to feel
It was an odd book. Not a bad book, and I would probably read more from the series, but an off book. I feel like i was in a constant state of just... "What?"
It very much reminded me of hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, where all these strange things just kept stacking on top of one another. So if you're a fan of GGTTG, I definitely recommend this.

I felt that this story was missing a few critical arcs, the flow was not there because of this. The characters did not feel as fleshed out as they should be either

This book was send to me a while ago for an honest oppinion. I have to admit that in the beginning i was a liiittle bit sceptic mainly because i'm not used to reading this kind of sex humor. HOWEVER, as I continued reading this book it turned into the good kind of wtf-is-going-on :D I started looking forward what's the next crazy thing that's going to happen to Barry, Molly and the rest of that unique gang of characters! It is unlike anything i have read so far and that's why i enjoyed it! Btw the story can really be turned into a funny comic book with all these unbelievably ridiculous yet hilarious turns of events!

Escape from Samara is a wacky comedy. Barry Harris who still lives with his mom believes he is an awesome ninja. While gardening for a living he seeks to unravel the mystery of his father's and sister's disappearance.
I found this story to be a crazy journey into a dark and funny world. Recommended to readers who might enjoy wild off-kilter humor. Turn off your brain, and give this a try. You may appreciate the author’s strange sense of humor in this fantasy story.

This one i had it pending for a very long time, since reviewing Hot Inferno, and what a trip this one was too.
Now I have to say I did like the second better, this one gave you a lot of insight on Barry's life and the prophecy of the ninja he is fulfilling and living for.
One of the characters that made me laugh more on this one was Barry's doctor, he was one trip of a psychologist and the wizard that omg my mind was blown.
Something that I can promise with this book it's you're not getting bored, it will entertain you very much and it has so many interesting wisdom along the way.

This book is hilarious, I had to stifle laughter while reading it, the main character is just the unluckiest and most unlikely hero you can imagine and the adventures he has in this book are just mind boggling. A really fun read.

I have received this book in exchange for an honest review. I have given Escape From Samsara by Nicky Blue three out of five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
I have to admit, with no exaggeration, this is probably one of the most unique books I have ever read! it was humorous, full of action and unbelievably hectic plot, compile all of those things together and it was a very interesting read!
Nicky Blue is an extraordinary and incredibly talented writer, despite a few grammatical errors I thoroughly enjoyed his descriptive use of writing throughout this story and absolutely loved the humour that was brought to light in this book, it really made me chuckle out loud. Blue’s descriptive use of writing really helped me to vividly imagine the characters and scenes that were playing out in the book, however there were quite a few times I felt that the story was being rushed or things were happening at a fast pace which made it difficult to keep up.
I can’t say that I built a connection with the characters, but I did enjoy reading about Barry and the bizarre life that he leads. I could definitely imagine the characters and plot in a comic strip styled book.
Overall I thought this book was well-written and very creative, with great slapstick humour qualities, but personally it wasn’t my type of genre I would particularly pick up again. I would recommend this book to readers of fantasy and tongue and cheek humour.
