#BookReview: The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson

Synopsis: #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson meshes Jason Bourne and epic fantasy in this captivating adventure that throws an amnesiac wizard into time travel shenanigans—where his only hope of survival lies in recovering his missing memories.

A man awakes in a clearing in what appears to be medieval England with no memory of who he is, where he came from, or why he is there. Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts. His only help from the “real world” should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit. The few fragments he managed to save provide clues to his situation, but can he figure them out in time to survive?

My Review: This is actually my first Sanderson book but sadly I think it is also my last.  His type of writing and humor are just not for me.  I found the book hard to follow and part of it just felt weird to say the least.  I am somewhat not sure what to even say about this one.  It was just odd.
