An obsession, a leitmotiv, the quest of a lifetime... That is what it is to Iznogoud – becoming caliph instead of the caliph. And that is why he will stop at nothing. A ghost that drives caliphs – and only caliphs – insane? Worth a try. A specialist in scandals? Why not. A magical wax museum? Let’s go! A good thing indeed that he is as stupid and unlucky as he is evil...
Is...No...Good.  I write that because people still  ask how you pronounce that name.
You know, I do not believe that Iznogoud is having a movie made about his scheming and escapades.  Now that he would be really ticked off over "I want to be a movie star!" is what he'd be shouting....if he could get past the movie stars cameo-ing in this book.
But Cinebook's resident bad boy has so much on his hands -again. Will he ever achieve his life's goal?  And how dim is the Caliph anyway??
