Summary: Weak ending to a mediocre series
Review: I started reading the Myth books in college and enjoyed the quite a bit until Myth-nomers and Impervections, which started the downward trend to the series. I pretty much lost track of the series since Asprin also stopped writing them on a regular basis, but recently decided to finish off the series once and for all. I first reread the original 6 or 7 books that I still find entertaining, although not as much as I did some 10 years ago, then slogged through the rest of the series and finally got around to Something M.Y.T.H.Inc.Basically, the book is a rehash as well as a cop out of the events in Sweet Mythery of Life and their consequences. What might've had some good potential for tension and drama were turned into bad jokes. Pookie shooting Guido? Gleep getting shot? All a misunderstanding. Hell, the whole "uprising" is one big joke. It's like Asprin couldn't think of a good way to resolve some plot threads he set up earlier and said hell with it all. Also, why is it that the majority of the non-Skeeve viewpoints in the M.Y.T.H.Inc stories are handled by Guido? Nothing against the guy, but I'd really like to see some of the other characters' POV's, especially Aahz or Tanda. The faux-mob speech also really grates after a while. It really feels like Asprin missed out on several good opportunities exit the series on a high note. My advice to anyone who hasn't started the series yet would be to stop reading at Little Myth Marker. M.Y.T.H.Inc Link is still a tolerable read, but sets up a lot of things that will require to read some very bad books to find answers for.

Summary: Nice ending
Review: If if wasn't for the ending, I'd have given this three stars. There are setups with no payoffs, and this story isn't as well written as the recent "Myth-ion Improbable". Specifically, they have abandoned Klah as a mideval society once and for all, and I'd have been happier if RLA had explained it as Deveels, now knowing Skeeve as they do, had revised their opinion of the dimension and started trading there and most of the changes had come over the past few years... but.. anyway... The last quarter of the book is a return to form, and pays off the whole six book arc as well as it can, and I liked the ending. Not recommended as an intro to the series, but for long-time fans, it was cool.

Summary: Fun and a bit Silly
Review: If you have a couple of hours and a silly sort of mood, this is the series to read. I finished them quickly and had some good laughs.

Summary: Good, but Lacking
Review: Like many I have been waiting for this book for a long time. I rushed home after work so I could read it. After reading the note from Asprin, I got a feeling of dread, but I will get to that in a bit. The first part of the book was a little difficult to get into. The cliffhanger from the last book was not addressed until the last quarter of the book, which added a little confusion. Overall it was an OK Myth story. When you get back to the last quarter you really get the feeling of a MYTH story. But once you got used to being back in the MYTH groove Asprin throws you. I am not sure what his intent is. Is this the last MYTH book? I would really be disappointed if this is true. I really did not care for the ending. It leaves options open, but you get the feeling that this is the last Myth Book. I hope this is not the case. For us diehard Myth fans this is a good read, but for the most part is not a typical MYTH book. Hopefully this will be a new beginning like Asprin hinted.

Summary: A sad ending to a fantastic series
Review: Note to reader: since to read this book, you'd better have a long acquainatance with Skeeve and the gang, I decided I'd just jump right in with the review as well, leaving out pointless introductions of characters and setting. Enjoy!
In this book, Guido and Nunzio take it upon themselves to investigate rumors of various uprisings against Skeeve the Great for dabbling in black sorcery and raising taxes. This goes on concurrently with the events of the previous book, so I guess there's little suspense as to whether or not an uprising will in fact happen... Asprin's well-known writer's block is on display here in all its glory, unfortunately. For all the changes of "dialect" (if you can call dropping Gs and writing "sez" for "says" a dialect) with varying narrators, the prose style here is all of a sameness: Chumley, Skeeve and Aahz all speak in exactly the same way, while even a regular Klahd, supposedly in awe of the feared Skeeve the Great, who consorts with demons and dragons, refers to him as "the kid" after meeting him briefly. There's also very little drama, not only for the aforementioned reason of chronology but because the "threats" to Skeeve are completely negligible. Indeed, of the three groups supposedly plotting against Skeeve, Asprin writes about only two, because he must have realized that the other, a truly lame and unamusing parody of RPG gamers, is of no account at all. A very sad end to a once-vibrant series: undramatic, unfunny, and shoddily written.

Summary: I waited 25 years for THIS!?!?!?
Review: Oh well, at least we're done. A thin book, but important for completists. I'm glad I have it, and I'm happy I read it, but I won't be reading it again.

Summary: Another MYTH-step by Asprin
Review: Robert Asprin, an erratic writer as far as his output is concerned, finally returned after around a decade or so to his Myth series last year with Myth-ion Improbable, a weak and humorless effort that was far inferior to his other efforts. With Something MYTH Inc., he has improved slightly but the title is more than a pun; there is indeed something missing still. In what is likely to be the last of the series, Asprin wraps up storylines with all the delicacy of a sledgehammer. Actually, most of the story deals with minor character Guido and his attempts to put down rebellions by such feeble threats as Robb the Hood and his Married Men. These characters are such non-threats that there is little suspense in the whole story. Towards the end of the book, the focus is finally back on Skeeve, who makes decisions about his future that affects everyone. Also, the loose ends are tied together quickly, almost too quickly for those who have waited years for resolutions. All this in a very quick 150+ pages plus a throwaway short story and character guide. While this is not an awful book, it is also not very good, certainly not a very rewarding finish for those who have enjoyed this series. But if the last two books are any indication, it is probably best that the series has concluded; there will be no more disappointments in the future.

Summary: What's his address, I want to send this book back to him.
Review: The book is basically a glorified epilogue. There is a plot, but I use the word loosely, since I've seen sitcoms with more depth. What conflict exists in the book is resolved with minimal effort or description. Very sad. I enjoyed every other book in this series, but with this last one it was almost as if the author wanted it to be over with and dashed this off to fulfill contractual obligations. I kick myself for not just checking this out at the library.

Summary: Save your money
Review: The book is OK, really. However it has some of the worst editing of all time. There are HORRIBLE grammar errors (it's/its and you're/your and to/too) as well as spelling errors, numerous typesetting errors and so forth. It's bloody horrendous and reading it is impossible because you'll be so distracted by that. As for the book, it starts of well, ends well, but the problem is everything in the middle. It wanders, rambles, and deviates finally remembering it's a book with a point.
