Ogre, Ogre

Rating:
Summary: Good fun and easy reading
Review: While not a fan of Piers Anthony's mass market, book-pumping, auto-pilot, assembly line machine scheme, there are some noteworthy books in his otherwise generic and bland Xanth series. Having read all 18 or 20 books of the series, (they begin to grate on the mind) I must say that his first few books were his best. Ogre, Ogre, written so long ago was still fresh, the puns whimsical and the characters lovable. Good popcorn reading. Three star rating is given because I do not believe it is a classic, it does not distinguish itself enough from its brethren and all in all people are too generous with their ratings.

Rating:
Summary: Campy, silly, and absolutely juvenile
Review: You have to be an absolute Xanth nut to like this series. I mean, c'mon, "blanket trees"??.
