On a Pale Horse (Incarnations of Immortality, Bk. 1)

Summary: I will welcome DEATH
Review: A must for any book reader. The plot - the characters - all entwine carefully for an explosive ending, and Thank Piers there is another book after this. I read this book twice in a week as I could not believe what I had read. Just so wonderful.

Summary: Anthony does it again!!!!
Review: Piers Anthony starts off another series with a big BANG! Like Bio of a Space Tyrant, the start of Incarnations of Immortality keeps you thinking, and makes you read about time (which is the dryest book in the series), fate, war, nature, Satan, and God. Anthony's series tests your beliefs about the afterlife and how the world really goes around.

Summary: The Best Book of the Immortality Series
Review: On a Pale Horse is one of my most favorite novels. It is a view of Death like never seen before. Piers has been one of my most favorite novelists since I was a teenager. So when we collaborated on the Quest for the Fallen Star, I achieved a higher regard for the man. He truly is a gifted writer. - James Richey

Summary: A series...In thought.
Review: This book is the opening of a series that will make you question your very beliefs about life, love, and religion. It, however, does this gently and in the most non-offensive manner that I can imagine. Aside from being thought provoking, and soul searching...it is also a very entertaining, and at times uplifting book. You can look forward to the six titles to follow!!

Summary: Great book, a must read!!!!
Review: This book is one of the most interesting and eye opening books that I have ever read. This first book of the series just makes you want to read the rest of them. The best part is that all of the books in the series point to each other in numerous ways making you have to read all of them to appreciate them. Piers Anthony is a Genious!

Summary: Absolutely wonderful!!!
Review: This was the first Piers Anthony book I had ever read and I read it in one night. It was absolutely amazing! The storyline itself was imaginative and entertaining and kept you interested all along. But beneath the storyline there are deep values and beliefs being explored. It makes you rethink your views of life and death, good and evil, and really makes you question what your religion and beliefs. And I can say exactly the same thing for all five Incarnations of Immmortality books (Yes, I know there are seven. I haven't read the last two yet, but am looking forward to it). Each book builds on the previous and draws on the next, for an overall effect that leaves you wishing for more at the end of each book, only because you want to read more about the adventures of each of these very original and very different characters. If you've never tried Piers Anthony, I recommend starting it off with this book. And even though everyone says the books are good on their own, they are so much more together in a series. Read them in order from Death to Nature (and Satan and God too) to get the full effect Piers Anthony intended.

Summary: Not your typical Piers Anthony novel.....
Review: So many times, an author's earlier works are the best...and we have here a wonderful example of such. This isn't typical of what you're likely to find nowadays from a Piers Anthony novel. Not only highly entertaining, but extremely thought-provoking. You will contemplate your own beliefs about good and evil, life and death....

Rating:
Summary: This is a very enjoyable book...
Review: I've read this book countless times, and each time I read it again it gets better. This book makes you re-evaluate you views on everything from faith and love to life and death. Mr. Anthony takes the time to delve into his personal views of life and death, and the results are a thought provoking and an interesting look into the nature of not only death but life also. I would like to see another book in the Incarnations of Immortality series, especially another on death, but also into Time and Fate....

Summary: On A Pale Horse.....Great
Review: I happened to stumble across this book in the store, the plot, and ideas in it were great. The concepts put to death, and the aspects from Death's view are great, This book hooked me onto the series and I found the others to be just as good, but not better. On A Pale Horse is the best by far

Summary: A very good book from a very bad author
Review: I am NOT a Piers Anthony fan. The vast majority of his work is drivel aimed straight at teenagers who haven't had the time to develop a decent sense of taste. This story, however, is a spectacular exception to the rule. The world, the plot, and the ideas involved are all extremely creative. Alas, the remainer of the Incarnation series (which I slogged through on the hope that he would be able to re-capture the quality of this first story) is a grand disappointment. By all means, do read this but don't be fooled into thinking that Piers Anthony's other stories are worth the trouble of reading.
