Summary: My Favorite Pervert and his faithful Klahd
Review: A fantastic book with all the best elements of fine literature :) It's fantastically funny, and will keep you entertained through it's medium length... I personally guarantee that it will be loved by anyone that reads it! a 10 of 10 on my scale! Write me it you have any questions, as I am the president of a Robert Asprin Fan Club in California: amorrow@jetlink.ne

Summary: Proof that reading is still fun
Review: a throughly entertaining series. I have read them all and am now replacing the ones that I loaned to people that couldn't bear to return them. Some poor soul said that these books are aimed at a sixteen year old reader. He probably hasn't heard a good joke or kissed a woman since he was sixteen. The Myth books are for those that have a sense of humor, reccognize irony and satire and can suspend reality long enough to read a superbly written work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Fine Myth
Review: ALL of these books are simply wonderful! If your a fan of Magick, Fantasy, with a dollop of Comedy, then this is a series you shouldn't miss!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "The only fantasy book where I didn't skip a singal page!!"
Review: ANOTHER FINE MYTH An extremly funny book that tells about a grumpy pervect(Not pervert, mind you) who lost his powers, a half trained apprentice who comes from KLAH ( which already says alot), a green dragon with a one word vocabulary and a green haired assassin who's out of jobs- this unusual group goes out for a quest to save the world from a mad magician and his (it's) army of Imps. On their way they meet Deveels with an aditute (even worse then Perverts, Excuse me, Pervects), a war unicorn who thinks he's a dragon, demon slayers and other bizzare creatures. They have many crazy, wonderful adventures and I recommend this book warmly to anyone who likes fantasy. I espeically liked this book because it has a nice ending where not everybody dies and yet it isn't a stupid ending at all. ( I know it sounds like a stupid comment but it said in the guidelines that I need to write why I liked the book).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You or your child will be happy with this book
Review: Another Fine Myth is a fun book to read for your child. If you have someone in your life that is about at the age where they might pick up Harry Potter or if they are looking for something akin to it, this is a good direction to turn. I feel that Asprin modeled these books on the old Hope and Crosby `Road' flicks. The banter between Skeeve and Aahz (the two main characters) is quite enjoyable. The worlds that Asprin creates are also very imaginative and fun to encounter.

This is quite an engrossing book and wont tire you no matter what your age as long as you have a sense of humor and a bit of wonder left in your heart.

Other series' in line with this would be the `Stainless Steel Rat' by Harry Harrison, and the `Xanth series' by Piers Anthony

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Beginning of a Beautiful Series?
Review: Another Fine Myth is the beginning of Robert Asprin's Myth series, one of the best (and THE most hilarious) fantasy series of all time. This introduces us to the characters that make the series so wonderful. Some of the characters are

Skeeve: The apprentice to a washed out, burned out magician. When that magician is killed, Skeeve has to find a way to save his own life and find justice for his mentor.

Aahz: a Pervert, (oops make that Pervect), a demon rendered powerless by a practical joke gone awry.

Tanda: A beautiful, voluptuous green haired assassin with a firey temper and wicked sense of humor.

And Gleep: A loveable but dumb baby dragon.

This book is ideal not only for fans of fantasy but for humor fans as well. I picked it up and could not put it down. I also couldn't stop laughing! Don't just buy one, buy one for your friend! It's that good!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: funny without being stupid
Review: Fun fantasy humor. It's hard to read this book and not grin like an idiot the whole way through. The settings the adventurers find themselves in on their quest are as funny as any I've read before. Very funny without being stupid.
