Summary: Is Death good?
Review: I'd never really thought of these different Incarnations before, but they just come alive. Wow! In some places it's confusing, but I was thoroughly ensorcelled from the beginning til the end. (I ended up buying the whole set.)

Summary: An creative and entertaining classic
Review: I have read 'On a Pale Horse' numerous times, and a little more insight into the nature of the universe is gained with each reading. Anthony has a the peculiar talent of helping people think more easily, and although this book isn't a 'work of literature' in the traditional sense, it is still immenseley enjoyable to read.

Summary: WOW!!!
Review: This book was a great read!!! It was beaten only by "With a Tangled Skein". Zane was an interesting character in himself. Mortis (the pale horse(for those of you who haven't read the book)) is an ingenious creation by the master of Sci-Fi and Fantasy Himself,Piers Anthony! If you want to read an awesome book, read this. It is the first book in the Incarnatons of Immortality and a great one to start out with. All in all a great Book by the A man!!!

Summary: Helped me through a very difficult time!
Review: From the first Piers Anthony book I read, I have been a total Piers fan. I read and re-read every book of his that I can find. I had read On A Pale Horse a few years before, but in August of 1992 I felt that I "Had" to read it again. It was as if something was compelling me to read it. I finished it on the morning of the 8th about 1/2 hour after finishing the book I had an emergancy phone call informing me that my 3 month old granddaughter had died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The next few days were very traumatic, but remembering the instance in the book where the child died and was taken to Heaven was very comforting to me. I have read the book about 4 times since then and always get a peaceful feeling when I finish.

Summary: Unique!!!
Review: I'm an avid reader...anything from Horror to Love Stories, Suspense to Biography's. "On a Pale Horse", I had the book for months before committing myself to reading it. Sci-Fi and Fantasy had never intrigued me. I can honestly say of the thousands of books I've read, this one stands out in it's uniqueness. It is unlike any other book. While, I can't go so far to say it's the best book ever, or even the best I've personally read, it is a wonderful and entertaining story. Assuming of course your mind is open to alternative possibilities in life, and in the case of this book, death. On the humerous side, the book is one of the very few, that made me laugh out loud. A fun story, enlightening, with a few things to really make you think tucked into it's pages. Open the book, and let your mind play. You'll enjoy.

Summary: Piers Anthony is timeless
Review: It was over 10 years ago that I read this novel by Mr. Anthony. As a young man, I found much that entertained in his novels, but in having reconsidered his work, I see now that there was so much more there. This first novel provided for me a reference of how one wishes to define themselves. Limitations and obstacles can deter us from our place, but with creative thinking and a commitment to what we know is true and right, there are no limitations to what we can be. Zane is this character, unable to achieve in life what promise he had, Zane is able to become a true hero and find love by becoming Death. Anthony weaves the often conflicting worlds of magic and science easily and believably in a world where both are wielded. In Anthony's world, the powers of magic and science can be used for good or evil, but the pressing issues of the gray "in-between" areas in this dichotomy are exposed and pushed to their limit. This story, coupled with some serious philosophy was a journey for myself and even 10 years removed has helped me to define myself and what I wish to accomplish and the legacy I wish to leave on this earth. I highly recommend this novel for anyone who wishes to take a jouney coupled with an entertaining story and compelling characters.

Summary: The Best of Piers Anthony!
Review: Piers Anthony honestly defines how men and women would react when given proof of the supernatural. It is hard to imagine how I would react myself to being Death incarnate. I read all 7 books in the series, TWICE!
