Publisher's Summary

A magical serial killer is on the loose, and gelatinous, otherworldly creatures are infesting the English countryside. Which is making life for the Ministry of Occultism difficult, because magic is supposed to be their best kept secret.

After centuries in the shadows, the Ministry is forced to unmask, exposing the country's magical history - and magical citizens - to a brave new world of social media, government scrutiny, and public relations.

On the trail of the killer are the Ministry's top agents: a junior operative with a photographic memory (and not much else), a couple of overgrown schoolboys with godlike powers, and a demonstrably insane magician.

But as they struggle for results, their superiors at HQ must face the greatest threat the Ministry has ever known: the forces of political correctness....

Differently Morphous is the latest and greatest tale to emerge from the mind of writer (and narrator) Yahtzee Croshaw.

A funny, well natured jab at PC culture.

To put my review in perspective a bit, I identify as a pretty politically correct person.

To summarize this book in a sentence: a Terry Pratchett-esque jaunt with a lovable cast of misfits who work for a secret magical society that fight eldritch Lovecrafitan horrors and PR-obsessed bureaucracy.

There's a lot to love here, but my favorite part is the handling of our modern outrage and PC culture. Like all great satire, both sides of the debate get a good ribbing. The tone isn't dismissive of either side, but pokes fun at both, and I think that lets us have a healthier debate about the entire thing.

I was worried that with the passing of Sir Terry, we'd be short on hilarious, poignant fantastical novels, but I see now we didn't need to worry. We've got Yahtzee Crowshaw.

A fantastical story leaving me wanting more

Yahtzee painted a picture of a world, characters and left me wanting more of it.

The story really makes you think you are getting some type of Harry Potter spoof. However the over the top characters and build up to the mystery of who done it really made it into it's own. There was Lore and history of this modern England infused with magic and strange fluidic monsters that worked perfectly.

Yahtzee does fantastic voices to make each character seem alive. I really hope there is more to come from this seires. I'd love to see this made into a miniseries. It would be awesome. Overall I highly recommend it.

Alright..

Half the characters sounded sarcastic.. Just ok. Story didn't really grab me and it was hard for me to get interested till maybe half way.

Couldn't finish this.

Narrator was excellent. The story was frustrating and unbearably snarky. Got halfway through the book and couldn't bear to finish it. The story had interesting ideas, but the writing felt rushed and the characters were unbearable. I do not recommend this book if you are looking for smart and witty conversations with lovable characters.

unsympathetic

For a reviewer who is on record for being pro-nutter in the fascist vs nutter dichotomy seen in video games, Yazhtee does a terrible job of writing the nutters as sympathetic or rational while the fascists are given plenty of time to make their argument and they do a very good job of it.

Funny, Modern bureaucracy over demonic possession

A student at a school for people with magic finds out she has an eidetic memory, but alas no magic, She gets assigned as an assistant to an insane field agent at the same time as the secret government department that handles magic is forced to become not secret anymore. Demons they used to kill become the oppressed, demonic possession is now a lifestyle choice and The Hand of Merlin is just a bunch of doddering old racists

Very funny, in the vein of Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett. The occult, the mystical and the dangerous are all overlaid with government ineptitude, spin doctors, political correctness and social justice warriors. It even has an ominous prologue that pretty much ensures I will get the next book set in this world with these characters.
