    Xanth
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024*

Probably not a fairly review but so what. I have enjoyed the Xanth series of books for some 40 years now. Piers Anthony has been one of my favorite authors of all time. His wit and ability to tell a story is second to none. Full of puns, and fun. You will laugh, guaranteed, and have a whole new world opened up to. Enjoy the land of Xanth during your stay in Mundania.

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2024*

Really loved the descriptive wording and the book had me thinking all the time. I became Bink as I read this book.  I read it 40 years ago. Am in love with Chameleon still.

    Strange Mix of Narrative Fit For Kids, But For The Misogyny and Off-color References
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2017*

There are good things to say about this book, but first, the criticisms.I read this book as a teen and enjoyed it, though it was by far not my favorite book. Anthony resorts to clever turns of phrase, and doesn't really concern himself with quality writing. The descriptions of scene and setting are terse and really only exist to serve the immediate action. There is a lot of pondering of imponderables regarding the nature of the magical land of Xanth and it's denizens and not really any real insights into more character-driven issues.It struck me somewhere around the half-way mark in this second read years later that this book was reading more like a childrens fairy tale than a grown-up book. If it weren't for the many references to the relationships between men and women and the rampant misogyny I could easily see myself reading this as a bed time story to young nieces or nephews.Misogyny? Oh yes, it's there, bold and unapologetic. There are those who have tried to defend it, but there is no lipstick you can put on this male chauvinist pig. Women are portrayed in terms of how they look and just how manipulative and deceitful they can be. I can only speculate that the author must have written this series of books while going through a nasty divorce or something. The next book opens with one of the heroines of this book having turned into a nasty and repulsive harridan throwing expletive-filled verbal assaults on our protagonist like cherry bombs.Criticisms aside, the story is engaging and exciting, action-packed and cleverly plotted. It was a fun bathroom reader and time-passer and I got a kick of some of the clever turns of phrase. For example, in describing a three-way under-water fight, which can be tricky to write well: "There was nothing but mutual mischief." That conveyed the scene well enough for me to picture a comedic struggle, and that's sometimes all an author can ask.Overall I would recommend this book to those seeking a fun, no-brainer to read, if they can overlook some offensive references to women and don't really seek much intellectual stimulation. If that's not you, you really won't get much from reading this book.
