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

Rating:
Summary: the best of the series!
Review: I loved this book! It was probably the best book that Anthony has ever written! Although not totally redeeming, it kept me riveted until the end. Although I have read and loved all of the "Incarnations of Immortality" series, "On A Pale Horse" has got to be my absolute favorite of all of them!

Rating:
Summary: Bare bones never looked so good!
Review: This startling beginning to a new outlook on Death quickly transfixes you and forces you to analyze just what Death really is.

Rating:
Summary: The best of the seven, no question!
Review: I've read all seven Incarnation novels many times over, but this is the one I always come back to. The others are enjoyable, but this is by far the best.

Rating:
Summary: Most excellent of the Incarnations
Review: I believe this book, showing all aspects of death, is one of Anthony's best yet. The tone he sets in this book carries on into the rest of the Incarnation trilogy. I recomend this book to anyone interested in Piers Anthony and read some of his literature or is an admirer of fantasy.

Rating:
Summary: THIS IS THE BEST BOOK OF THE SERIES!
Review: I would strongly recommend reading this book if you like fantasy or science fiction. Piers Anthony melds these two themes together beautifully. Imagine a world of advanced science and magic all rolled up into one.

Rating:
Summary: Incredible
Review: This book was about the best book I've ever read. Peirs Anthony so eloquently puts Death as a Human with feelings and scruples. This book also brigs accross some provacative thought on death and religion.

Rating:
Summary: Worst book I've read in the last 5 years...
Review: Piers Anthony is a hack. A lot of people have recommended his work to me and this is the first i read. It will also be the last. Don't waste your time. It is an intriguing idea, but the world of this book is both coldly distant and brutally boring.

Rating:
Summary: good read but not realistic.
Review: This book and in fact all the incarnations of immortality books are good books but if you are the type of person who likes something a bit more believeable you will spend alot of time on these books thinking that the people could not, should not, or would not do what they do. For instance death is this compationate softy who takes the time to chat with everyone befor collecting them and ends up saveing almost as many people as he collects. But on the other hand the storys are good reads and keep you locked in untill you finish and crave the next book. another plus is that the books do not have to be read in any order they are all pretty stand alone although they do have a slight continuity. on the whole if you want a book that gets you thinking and that has its share of sexy women then this book and this series will hold you over durring the down time between the show stoppers.

Summary: Incredible Beginning To An Incredible Journey
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend, and when he told me basically what the series was about, I thought, "This sounds like boring, preachy junk." After the first chapter of "On A Pale Horse", I changed my mind very quickly. Not only does Anthony write about never-before dealt with ideas and subject matter, but he tells it like he experienced it all! I started wondering whether Piers Anthony has at one point been the Reaper! Incredible story.

Rating:
Summary: A thought provoking read. Entertaining but has depth.
Review: I enjoyed reading this book. It deals with DEATH in a humerous, but human way. On the surface, this book is simply a fantasy book about a man who has to assume the job of death and his problems in dealing with that task. I especially like the mixture of science and magic that appears in this book. If you are very religious do not read this book, it can be extremely thought provoking regarding religion. I especially like the phrase "God created the world, but the Devil evolved it." I also recommend the other books in this series.
