Rating: Summary: Great! Review: All I can say is this is, by far, one of the best xanth novels, it had the most interesting characters yet.
Rating: Summary: The One That Turned Me Away Review: I have to admit, that I was suprised to see that this book got such a high rating, as it was the one in the series that pushed me away from Xanth. I finished it and was overcome by a sense of pointlessness in reading these books that must have begun with "Demons Don't Dream." The older books are much better, when the author actually had a story to tell, it seems unfortunate that now Anthony spends his time with Xanth in attempts to fill it with what he thinks are clever puns to appease the fans who send in their ideas, when really in my opinion, the puns are just plain annoying. I suggest Anthony stops cranking out Xanth books so quickly, and instead tries to think of some interesting stories to tell, although I have to say, there are signs of improvment with the most recent books, "Faun and Games," for example.
Rating: Summary: "It was the best book I read in years" Review: I think that Piers Anthony is a great writer.When my friend let me read the book I just had to start collecting.So the next day I went out and bought as many Piers Anthony books as I could afford.Now I am a devoted reader and will keep collecting as long as they're out there.
Rating: Summary: I love Piers Anthony!! Review: I think that Piers Anthony is the best writer of all times. When I started reading Geis of the gargoyle I left it at a friends house and she refused to return it untill she was finished with it but I think all the books were great!!
Rating: Summary: A Great Book! Review: Peirs Anthony may not be the best fantasy writer in my book, but he has a great gift for light-hearted fantasy! This story takes us all of the way through the punny world of Xanth, but there's something great about this book! Most of it takes place in an even wackier place-unbelievable, right? Wrong! This place is the madness, where angry constellations stir up a fight! It's great isn't it! In a way, this books needs no explination because really any Xanth book is worth the read, but this is one of the greater ones! Trust me! Don't miss this! Enjoy!

Rating: Summary: This book was great! Review: Piers Anthony is the king of fantasy writing. He surprises you at every turn with new and interesting happenings. His books are amazingly detailed and interlink seamlessly.
The puns in Geis of the Gargoyle were fresh and witty. The way Piers Anthony writes about his characters makes them seem more real than life. Gary the gargoyle was an interesting addition to the Xanth family.
This book was a riveting read.

Rating: Summary: A great antic with plenty of rollicking fun! Review: This book is great! It introduces great new characters,
(or parts of old ones) and fulfills expectations for a great new Xanth novel.
Rating: Summary: Full of Magic, Puns and Unique Characters Review: This book started out as easy reading - comprehensible and not much to the story line. As the book progressed, however, the plot became more detailed as more and more characters were introduced. I would recommend the reader to definitely have a strong imagination to picture the intricate objects explained in this book, as well as the scenery. I found this book to be most enjoyable; I read it in only three days. I definitely look forward to reading more Xanth books, this being my first.
