Ogre, Ogre

Summary: Ogre, oh Ogrely Ogre
Review: Smash is lovable. It's these types of books that make me always doubt whether it's real or not...scary... Anyway, I always rate Anthony's books a 5 star. But in Xanth (my fave series) the style of writing is a lot better in the first trilogy of 9 or so then in the later parts of the series, while the later part of the series all have better plots. It's a balance. I still like the idea of magic being so close yet inacessible because I don't believe hard enough... Read the whole series (in order). If not the whole series, then start reading with A Spell for Chameleon and stop when you feel like it (not in the middle of a book, of course, the endings are always great.) Anthony Rocks!

Summary: Great book
Review: Smash is my kind of man. Sensitive, but destructive. Although my true preference in Piers Anthony books is the Incarnations of Imortality, The Xanth series is worth reading. This book, in particular, is my favorite of this series. Poor Smash, doesn't know what his question is, but serves his time for the answer, and finds himself surrounded by females and unable to crunch any of their bones.

Summary: Ogre, Ogre FULL OF ACTION
Review: This book is about an Ogre who helps three girls; a human girl, a goblin girl, and a centaur girl. one would normally think that a ogre would eat them, but this is a vegatarian ogre, so he didn't. read the book to find out what adventure i mean

Summary: You will always rememebr Smash
Review: This book is hilarious. Great puns. Smash is an ogre. They love to fight, the uglier the better and brains is something to be avoided. It has some great fights which shiows the strength of an ogre. Smash runs into an Eye Queue (IQ) vine and becomes smart. He regards it as a curse, as ogres are proud of their stupidity. Ogres are also soulless, emotionless creatures, and Smash is not; over the course of the adventure he becomes more and more of what we would call humanlike. Though Smash knows he is an Ogre. His adventure triggers new feelings, which at first he doesn't understand, and eventually becomes comfortable with the idea of being a soulful human being while maintaining the ability to bash someone's brain in at need. When you remeber Smash's speach panterens, you forget how horrible Ogres' are suppose to be. A must read.

Summary: Amazingly "punny"
Review: This book is what caused my addiction to Xanth novels (along with whomever I shared the book with). It combines all the characteristics of an amazing series: humor, love, friendship, action. I've read this book over three times and I still can't get enough. I recommend this and every other Xanth book to all fantasy literature enthusiasts!

Rating:
Summary: One of my favorite Xanth books
Review: This is one of my favorite Xanth books. Another favorite is VALE OF THE VOLE. They remind me of Oz: nice people travelling together and coping with obstacles and odd creatures. The characters here are livelier and more interesting than in VALE.
