Author Hank Quense’s Novel Earns Fantasy Satire Award

The Wise Bear Digital book review states, in part, “Falstaff’s Big Gamble by Hank Quense uses three prominent Shakespearean characters to create a satirical fantasy world reminiscent of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Kudos to Quense for taking two tragic plays and creating an innovative modern day farce.

BERGENFIELD, N.J. - July 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Earlier this year, the Falstaff novel made a top-ten list:  Adam-P, a prominent UK reviewer, put Falstaff’s Big Gamble on the list of the ten best books he reviewed in 2012.  Falstaff came in at number five on the list. Part of Adam-P’s review states: I think the thing I liked most about Falstaff’s Big Gamble was that Quense made these really famous and well known characters seem totally new and his own. I think this was helped by his world of Gundarland which I really enjoyed reading about.

Other reviews for Falstaff’s Big Gamble:

This was one of those books I couldn't put down once, the constant bickering between the trolls, the ludicrous battle plans, and one very confused elf. I got wrapped up in the outrageous troll scenes, twisted plots, running my imagination wild! All your favorite Shakespeare characters are portrayed as Dwarves, Elves, Trolls, in this witty, comical, and adventurous tale of a whole other world called Gundarland.. Skye: The Booknatic

Hank Quense has pulled it off again! He is simply a marvelous writer- so witty and fun...you do not want this book to end. I loved all of the characters- and what a bunch of characters there are!  RICK FRIEDMAN: Goodreads: 5 stars
