#22: Matt Dinniman, Dungeon Crawler Carl (Dungeon Crawler Carl #1)

I decided to give this book a try because I wanted a change of pace. Several people that I follow were raving about it, and I can see why it's become a phenomenon. It's very compelling, and the protagonists are fun, but the humor is mostly pretty dark and occasionally the things they witness are just plain ghastly - basically what if the Hunger Games were a video game dungeon complete with levels and stats, but it's somehow still real life and there are aliens involved. The series is up to seven books and counting (the author has said it will be ten books "give or take"), so keep that in mind if you decide to start it.
