Summary: Another hit
Review: It has always amazed me how he keeps turning out, fabulous Xanths! This one is no exception, the exploration of xanth's ptero, ptero's pyramid, pyramid's torus, it is awesome! I am in suspense for the next one, "Zombie Lover"!

Summary: Fun and Punny!
Review: Like most Xanth novels, Mr. Anthony leaves you rolling with his toung in cheek humor!

Summary: Why do I read Xanth novels? All seem the same at this point
Review: Nothing new, nothing interesting. I just finished reading it and it's just more of the same. I've read all of the Xanth novels and the last several all sort of blur together. Re-read "Spell for Chameleon" (sp?) instead.

Summary: Oh, the perils of being a Mundane!!!
Review: Oh, wow! Definitely Piers' best work yet! It opens up scads of possibilities, introducing Ida's Moons and all. But it does raise an interesting question--if Ptero is a Moon of Xanth, Pyramid is a Moon of Ptero, and Torus is a Moon of Pyramid, then what is Xanth a Moon of??? I wonder...

Summary: Piers Anthony does it again.
Review: Piers Anthony does it again. A great book from a series that keeps getting better. A great blend of puns and adventure that goes beyond zanth to the small planet orbiting princess ida's head a world within a world within a world. Jam packed with new ideas and people with unique lives and talents.

Summary: Keeping Xanth Alive
Review: Piers Anthony keeps the story rolling with Ida and her mysterious path in life unwinding.

Rating:
Summary: His most imaginative one yet!
Review: This book has to be one of his best. Though I generally prefer books aimed at the Royal Family, this one is awesome. Forrest Faun is an incredible character. I am glad he and Imbri got together. The only complain I have is that it was so good that I finished it in two days and now I have to wait another year until the next one.

Summary: Committed Xanth-heads only!
Review: This book sucks. Sorry but that's the way it is. Anthony continues to pen his fascination with young females' anatomy and tries to squeeze increasingly lame puns into a once-intriguing world. The characters have no depth and I was unable to find myself caring about any of them as I did for Bink, Trent, and the other original cast. I've read all the books (I don't know why) and must say that this is the worst in a series that is diminishing with each new episode. Please, Piers, get back to the basics: plot and characters we care about.

Summary: New places, old puns.
Review: This book was a refreshing change of pace for those Xanth readers who were tired "same place, same thing" with only the characters changing. By introducing the complexity of Ida's moon(s), the author finally breathed some new life into the series. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, but I didn't particularly care for Forrest or even Imbri. The story would have been better with some of the other characters. The numerous trips to the various moons did become a bit tedious, although I did like the settings of Ptero and Pyramid. I recommend this book for any Xanth fan looking for a little variety.

Summary: one of the better books by piers anthony
Review: This book was interesting because of the parade of oddly shaped moons. I especially liked taurus and pyramid. I have read most of his xanth books and I feel that they are getting better and better even though I have liked every xanth book. I also hate the fact that it takes a year for hard covers and two for soft cover.
