Yoikes by James Field Review - Gets a four star here because it rates an, "I liked it."The book cover did catch my attention because I sort of have a lingering taste for medieval tales. Left over from my college days of reading stories of the era. The title was sort of strange to me but that's why it also grabbed my attention. I kept thinking "YIKES!" but the title is YOIKES. Since the cover is meant to get your attention, I'd say this one did the job.
This time travel tale has a fair amount of subtle humor. Mostly good natured insults and ignorance of a couple of numbskulled guys named Alf and Bert. It's a fun read going between the dialect and terminology of a more "modern" form of English and that of Medieval English. I found myself chuckling as I read because of this. The reader is likely to chuckle as I did at the outrageous names given the royal characters. Not to mention how the two aforementioned buffoons mispronounce the names. All which makes the story a fun experience in linguistic gymnastics. If you endured Chaucer, Shakespeare, Bacon et al you'll grasp most or all the medieval stuff.
Alf and Bert, and lest I forget, their two dogs are brave and kindhearted oafs who seemingly can't stay out of trouble. But you can't help liking them. The dogs however are well-trained but you wouldn't want to be on their bad side. Yoikes is a fun read that pulls you into two different worlds era-wise. It has fun, a bit of drama, and sort of a touch of fantasy. Let's say your plane's delayed or you just had a bad day and you're ticked off. Yoikes will offer amusement to take your mind off your predicament.
A final comment. I didn't realize this was a series already. Good decision by the author because these two characters deserve a series.

Yoikes The Cloud Brothers Short Stories Book 8 eBook James Field Reviews
Alf and Bert’s latest adventure involves a tumble through time. If you only need one reason to read this story, you should for their unique interpretation of ‘the butterfly effect’, which had me rolling about laughing. I enjoyed this scene so much I read it twice before carrying on with the rest of the story.
Alf and Bert are an odd duo. I guess you could think of them as the sci-fi equivalent of the two murderers from Shakespeare’s Richard III; men of ill deeds, suddenly faced with moral questions, forced the choose whether they should do the right thing or not. Without adding spoilers, they handle their predicament in a distinctly Alf and Bert manner.
With plenty of action, laughs, and trouble at every turn, this story definitely challenges for the position of the best Alf and Bert adventure yet.
Too funny. This story had me grinning from ear to ear and the ending was perfect. I'd recommend everything by this author. Everything.
The short story, Yoikes, by James Field struck me as something like a mix of "Dumb and Dumber" meets "The Days of Camelot." Here you have 2 beefy bros who are dimmer than a 10 watt light bulb, along with their Alsatians (German Shepherd types--I had to look that one up), who get sucked back in time because of their goofy inclinations. What follows is a fast-reading, humorous romp of a tale, that hopefully means they don't mess up their own futures (or anyone else they know), if and when they come back.
I liked the story a lot, but felt no sense of place or time at the very beginning. That made it harder to immerse myself into, but once I figured it out, everything locked into place (I saw the cover and supposed it began way back when, but it didn't.) Some minimal descriptions would definitely help enhance this funny tale.
I received a copy of this story in exchange for my honest review and I rate it as four stars.
