Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Charming fantasy
Review: Fun, charming and easy to read, I first read this book in seventh grade, and have been hooked on the series since (and gotten my younger sister hooked). Easily the book I have reread the most times in my life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A "Pervect" series for any fantasy lover!
Review: I am a HUGE fan of the Myth series, with all their wit an charm. Robert Asprin succesfully drags you into a story full of pop culture, demons and assasins with green hair. I thoroughly enjoy reading every book in this series, and I know that anyone else out for a good (and lengthy)time will!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Start Here and discover a series you will cherish
Review: I am reading this series through once again. I can say, without exaggeration, that this is probably close to the twentieth time I am rereading the series. The books of the MYTH series are my favorite books in a unique way. They are a great comfort and a familiar friend in this scary, uncertain world. Whenever I find that I do not have enough to laugh about, I can read about the misadventures of Aahz and Skeeve and count on having a good, whole-hearted chuckle. Another Fine Myth and the other books of this series are exactly what I look for in my reading material: stories that will refresh my spirit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is indeed a Fine Myth
Review: I love Robert Asprin books and this series was my introduction to his works. Skeeve is a poor under trained student of a seemingly crazy magician. Though a series of crazy events he hooks up with a dimension traveler (or demon for short). The two set off together to stop an old enemy with the help of a scantily clad assassin.

My impression-This book(and the 5 after it) are wonderful. You can have smart books, good books and funny books. But it is as rare as a Blue Moon to come across a series of books that is all three

Summary: Yeehoo!
Review: I often find myself going back and reading the whole Myth series over and over...great series, each book is excellent in its own right.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cleanse your literary palate
Review: I save these books as a sorbet between main courses--the series is great reading as a way to cleanse your palate between more serious or hard-hitting fantasy or science fiction.

Don't expect any lofty language, but DO expect a few laughs and a wonderful romp.

Skeeve aspires to be a magician--not to learn arcane sorcery or become all powerful, but to become a better thief. He considers his master a bit impractical in his use of magic...if you are not profiting from it, what good is it? After conjuring a green-scaled demon, the old magician keels over dead, leaving Skeeve to deal with the demon himself.

The demon called Aahz, however, is merely a traveler from another "dimen"sion, called Perv. Do not dare under any circumstances call Aahz a Pervert. The denizens of Perv prefer "Pervect"; those who mis-speak tend to lose their lives.

Skeeve is from a backward dimension called Klah (residents are called Klahds, read "clods") where technology is back at the medieval level. Aahz has been everywhere and readers will enjoy many inside jokes from our own pop culture.

Another great feature of the books is the quote that begins each chapter, usually expounding on one of life's great truths. One of my favorites is from chapter 21: "One must deal openly and fairly with one's forces if maximum effectiveness is to be achieved." -- D. Vader

Rating: 5 stars
