Summary: This is a great fantasy book.
Review: Crewel Lye: A Caustic yarn is the first, and so far the only, Xanth book that I have read. I can't wait to get my hands on another of this series. I loved Piers Anthony's use of puns. In this book a barbarian ghost tells a young girl living in the castle he inhabits the story of his life. This is a well-written,easily readable, humorous, fantasy that is too good to put down.

Summary: Incredible!
Review: I first read this book when I was about 8 years old, it was the biggest book I had tackled at that age but I found myself completely engrossed in this epic adventure.
I read the book again when I was 19 and found it even better than I remembered. Anthony weaves comedy, charm, adventure and tradgedy all into one neat package and he does it flawlessly.
If you like fantasy/adventure you need this book.

Summary: This book takes you to adventure and beyond.
Review: I loved the Way Anthony describes the Impaitence of little Five year old Ivy With Her friend in this tale Of Barbarians, Good magic versus Evil magic, And cruel lies that at one time shock you, Then amaze you with their truth

Best fantsy writer.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: Once again we have another book well written and filled with puns. One difference is brought to light almost immediatley, this book is written in first person, from the perspective of Jordan the Ghost. Jordan unfolds his history as Jordan the Barbarian with some help from young Princess Ivy and a magic tapestry. This is one of the great fantasy books.

Summary: One of those addicting Xanth novels.
Review: Once you start reading Xanth novels, they become addicting. This one is not as addicting as some of the series
Rating: 
Summary: What were they thinking?
Review: Seriously, I am quite the fantasy reader. However, this piece of dribble should not have ever been published. It is one of the WORST books I have ever read- in any genre. No plot or charecter development, nothing. If you want good fantasy, go read one of the DRAGONLANCE titles.

Summary: It got me hooked
Review: The first book I read by Piers Anthony; it got me hooked immediately. Though not his best book (check out the first few books in the "Xanth" series or his entire "Incarnations of Immoratality" series), it is very well written with an engaging story line. Read it if you're a fan of Anthony or if you're looking to become one
