Summary: Read this book.
Review: "Out of Phaze" is a great novel in the tradition of Piers Anthony, mixing technology with fantasy in two interesting parallel worlds. His constant references to sex is a welcome addition, challenging the terminally sheltered and adding more tolerance to the world of fiction. A great read!

Summary: This Rehash Didn't Phaze Me
Review: A tired reworking of the previous 3 books - which I thought were entertaining and inventive.
I have no evidence, but it seems as if this episode was ghost written (possibly by a 15 year old male chauvinist). Or else Piers Anthony was completely devoid of any new ideas. (one wouldn't think that an author in his mid 50's - at the time of the book's publication - would be so obsessed with pre-pubescent sex, it dominates every other page).
Of the approximately 300 pages, the first 150 are a tedious rehash of the first 3 books. Gone are the ingenious settings and situations and characters - replaced with boring characters (even more boring since they are duplicated both in Phaze and Proton) and the prurient leerings of a aging, frustrated voyeur.
It's sad when a talented author loses the spark.
If you are desperate for more Phaze, I advise checking it out from the library. My copy is going to Goodwill.

Summary: This is where I stopped reading.
Review: Anthony's series was going good until the main charater and the horsegirl started having sex constantly. I could't help but get disgusted at the repetitive passages of sexual acts because this girl "coudln't get enough". I thought the entire thing childish, as though fantasies were being played out instead of a story. After a few passages of that I got fed up and stopped. Perhaps the book got better as it went on, so read if you will-but you must get past the passages where the author appeared to be horny.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read
Review: I was very moved by this book. The extremes that these characters would go through for love moved me so much. Anthoney's descriptions of all details qualifies him as one of the best authors in the world. I love the way Science and Fantasy colide to make loads of adventure. This book has everything from androids to cyborgs and unicorns to werewolves and Citizens to Adepts. Your wildest dreams come to life in this wonderful book.

Summary: a very diferant turn in sci /fi/fantasy
Review: the book is for those who have a opend mind with out prejudice.I thought it was a brilliant way of showing just what true love is and how sex is differant but appart of it.plus the suspance towrds the end was masterfully done as you will see it is hard to put down after the 4th chapter. if you like the xanth books and hope to see some what more adult evelution you will be hooked:o) I hope its made into a movie.

Summary: A pretty good beginning to the story of Mach and Bane.
Review: This one was pretty good. After twenty years of no communication or anything between the frames of Phaze and Proton, Stile's son, Bane, makes contact with Blue's son, Mach, and they switch bodies so that they're both in each others frames in the other's body. Then Bane falls in love with Agape from Proton and Mach falls in love with Fleta from Phaze and a bunch of problems arise. I enjoyed this book.

Summary: Try it and get hooked...
Review: This was my very first Science Fiction/Fantasy book. I picked this book up when I was 14 because the cover caught my attention, and I haven't stopped reading Science Fiction/Fantasy since. This is a really good book for someone new to the genre, or for younger people looking for a lighter Science Fiction/Fantasy read.

Summary: This book is hard to get into, but well worth it in the end!
Review: This was the first book that I had read of Pier Anthony. It was hard for me to get into, and to understand some of the language that the author is known for. The book, after about the second chapter, is a "can't put it down" book, and the ones to follow are just as good.
