quirky as hell, but in a good wayI really enjoyed the book。 It’s quirky and funny! I can’t wait for book two。 Keep waiting to see if Clovis is an elite who is a trial for Randy。
Scott,
A crazy tower climbing LitRPG as we explore strange floors where even Hamsters rule and even your companion is a flying book。 To win you just need to survive the natives, fellow climbers and level up。An easy premise and this is a humorous take on the genre where except for survival we all take a light hearted action read in similar veins to Dungeon Crawler Carl。 With it's many wide influences from multi genre writer Cooper this will be another best seller to add to the list as we climb each page A crazy tower climbing LitRPG as we explore strange floors where even Hamsters rule and even your companion is a flying book。 To win you just need to survive the natives, fellow climbers and level up。An easy premise and this is a humorous take on the genre where except for survival we all take a light hearted action read in similar veins to Dungeon Crawler Carl。 With it's many wide influences from multi genre writer Cooper this will be another best seller to add to the list as we climb each page with great anticipation。 。。。more
Anthony,
So… Tokens and Towers is probably not much like anything else you have ever read, but at the same time it really kind of is。 It is a well written example of what attracts people to contemporary fantasy/science-fiction, and to the sub-genre of Lit-RPG (specifically the sub-sub-genre of GameLit)。 It has a plotline that adheres to the genre well, and I enjoyed that。 There was a lot of hilarity through the progression of events (there is a legit city in the world run by hamsters, and it is obviously So… Tokens and Towers is probably not much like anything else you have ever read, but at the same time it really kind of is。 It is a well written example of what attracts people to contemporary fantasy/science-fiction, and to the sub-genre of Lit-RPG (specifically the sub-sub-genre of GameLit)。 It has a plotline that adheres to the genre well, and I enjoyed that。 There was a lot of hilarity through the progression of events (there is a legit city in the world run by hamsters, and it is obviously called Hamsterdam, I mean there is no other logical option)。 There are a lot of strong game elements。 A writer-guy is brought into a game world where he has a magical book companion, the book gives off big Gen Z vibes, and they have to survive long enough and complete objectives to ascend a tower。Think a cross between Squid Games and Sword Art Online, but way more funny。The biggest way this book shines, to me, is in the heavy usage of pop-culture references。 I loved that。 There are not a lot of authors and books that have the pop-culture stuff well。 Harmon, with his Towers, does。 I definitely recommend it for anyone that enjoys pop-culture, gamelit, or just a good time。There is a whole thing about how Cooper wrote this book that makes it really unique。 Check it out at some point。 。。。more
Shawn,

Tongue in cheek humor galore。This story is just quirky and crazy。 The MC is a author that just can't pass up the dad joke one liners。 The character interactions are both good and bad as the MC most definitely is not OP or in many cases even competent。 Overall the story was very intriguing。 Tongue in cheek humor galore。This story is just quirky and crazy。 The MC is a author that just can't pass up the dad joke one liners。 The character interactions are both good and bad as the MC most definitely is not OP or in many cases even competent。 Overall the story was very intriguing。 。。。more

Kay,
I adored this book!As the fans used to sing from the Scottish football terracing a number of decades ago, "It's mental, it's crazy, it's off its ****ing head!" (poetic licence taken), this describes 'Tokens and Towers' to a 'T'。Randall Lionheart, an author currently suffering from writer's block, - known as 'Randy' to be cool, except when his previous pen name is mentioned, and it's mentioned by Clovis rather a lot。 Clovis is a spellbook and a reader, and Lionheart's unorthodox saviour。 Initiall I adored this book!As the fans used to sing from the Scottish football terracing a number of decades ago, "It's mental, it's crazy, it's off its ****ing head!"

Oh, my god, the hamsters! Ha! Something a wee bit different from Harmon Cooper, nevertheless you'll turn the pages at speed to see what antics and adventures the duo get up to, and out off, I snorted and giggled all the way。This is SO MUCH FUN! 。。。more
