Bigfoot and Santa vs Al-Qaida by J.K. Jackson.

This book is a pantomime style Adult comedy when magical, mythical creatures plus American political leaders have a fight against Al-Qaida. It is a fun read and a great platform for airing politically incorrect rants. This is not about the war on terror but a humourous story poking fun at everyone across the political and religious divide.

In the Western corner we have the mythical characters of Bigfoot, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy with Santa Claus and his elves plus a leprechaun, helped along by previous American presidents Bill Clinton, George Bush and the current president Obama. In the Middle Eastern corner we have many terrorists lead by Sharia Claus.

This is not a serious story but the humour is very adult. Although the plot is childish, the content is not suitable for children. But this is a good laugh and I loved the political ribbing between the characters. Gone is the public relations speak and in comes frank, no holds barred, on-the-street honesty that calls a spade a spade. The political balance of this story is neutral and told in a very funny way. Although it challenges the American political scene, the rants are so well scripted that they are fully understood by other English speaking readers. It does seem odd that real life politicians are featured in the same story as mythical make-believe characters but because this story is such a mickey take, it does work rather well. You start to view all the characters as silly people with their many faults and weaknesses. This all adds to the intensity of this adult humour, these characters are not to be believed, mythical or actual party leaders. If that does not convince the reader of the fun being poked at everyone, then the magic does. Oh yes, there is plenty of magic to laugh at too! You watch all the news reports of terrorists charging around a desert in their vehicle of choice which always appears to be a Toyota Hilux pick up truck. Oh no, not in this story as these terrorists have magical flying carpets, one for each terrorist to ride on whilst clutching a trusty AK 47.
So have a good laugh at this humourous story, it is light reading but with an adult content. It will give you a good chuckle as you enjoy this tale and think how ridiculous some of our cherished characters can be. This is a good fun read that I will happily vote 4 stars.

Bigfoot and Santa vs Al-Qaida was written in 2014 and is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook.
