Summary: Review for Isle of View
Review: Isle of view is a wonderful book. I really enjoyed it! It's full of puns and jokes. If you have read the other Piers Anthony books, you would really enjoy this one. I'm 13 years old and in middle school right now and even I enjoyed it. They even introduce a new character in this book! And if anyone named Micaya reads this review, please call the "Evil Dwarf Witch" afterwards!

Summary: Isle of View is the zenith of the Xanth series.
Review: The Xanth book Isle of View is the first of the "Jenny" books. Jenny is an elf from another fantasy series who blunders into Xanth on account of chasing her directional cat to a feather. Because her character is in honor of a brave little girl who was immobilized/semi-paralyzed by a hit-and-run driver, Anthony's writing reaches it's highest level ever. The visiting Jenny is a sweet, good girl whose gifts bring her triumphant through her adventures, and leaves changes of lasting value with the other characters. Her self-sacrificing search for Che, the young winged centaur shines through her surroundings. The usual puns fit in well and the story ties up several threads from previous volumes in a satifactory ending for all. This inspiring volume is the best advertisement for the series.

Summary: Best book I've ever read
Review: The Xanth series is the best series I have ever gotten into. I believe that the best book in this series so far is Isle of View. Isle of View captures the essence of the soul of Xanth, with characters such a the undecided Dolph, who can't make up his mind between the beautiful Nada, whom he loves with all his heart, or the unbeautiful, but sweet and rather cute Electra, who loves him with all her heart. Unfortunatly, Dolph will have his heart forever broken if he can't have Nada. Electra, because of an enchantment placed on her 900 years ago, will be forever dead if she can't have Dolph. There's also lovable Che, who was kidnapped by Gobins. The Goblins had a good reason, which complicated things, and left poor Jenny to make her most diffucult decision, What was more important, Che being with his parents, and educated in the fashion of a young winged centaur, or the life of a Goblin girl?

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book was great. It has to be one of the best Xanth novels so far. There were several plots that were so different yet so similar. It had humor, but at the same time, it had meaning. That is the hardest thing to find in books. I must say, all of the Xanth novels show this characteristic, but this was one of the best.

Summary: I enjoyed this book alot
Review: This book was one of the best books by Anthony I have read yet. The way he describes the scenes makes it so it seems that your there, witnesing the scene happening in front of you. It wasn't a complicated book, so it made it fun to read. The conflicts in the book, pulled you into it. I enjoy the puns Anthony used in this book alot. I would recomend the book to people from teens to middle- age. It was excellent.

Summary: One of the better Xanth novels.
Review: This novel is gets bogged down in the whole Xanth youth movement and therefore I do not give it a better rating. The Piers shows better writing in thi sbook than some of the other Xanth novels, but let himself go off on a tangent

Summary: My favorite Xanth book
Review: This one was the best in the line, as far as I've read so far!(Demons Don't Dream) The thing about Xanth books is you love them or hate them, and there's little in between. They're wonderful books, and someday, I will actually manage to have read ALL of them! Until then, I can only wonder.

Summary: Good, as are all of Anthony's books
Review: Xanth has three major pre dicaments. First, the foal-napping of five year old Che, the child of Xanth's only pair of winged centaurs. Second, Prince Dolph must choose between Electra, the uninteresting, and Nada, the uninterested. The catch is, if he doesn't marry Electra, she dies. Third, an odd elf and her cat have wandered through a dimensional rip in the very fabric of Xanth, and can't get back. Jenny, the elf, is peculiar because she doesn't draw power from an elm, she is about twice the size of aregular elf, her ears are pointed, and she only has 4 fingers. It turns out that Jenny attempts a rescue of Che after a brief run in with his mother. They escape from one tribe of goblins only to be hopelessly captured by another. An interesting twist of fate arises for all characters in this mind blowing novel. Another all time master piece by Piers Anthony
