Rating: Summary: I wish I could write a book as entertaining as this one! Review: Skeeve, a magician's apprentice. Aahz, a green scaly Prevect from the dimension of Perv. Gleep, Skeeve's pet dragon. Tananda, a green haired, shapely assassin. These are just a few of the characters you'll fall in love with just from reading this first book in the Myth series. Follow the adventures of Skeeve as he meets and becomes the apprentice of Aahz and accidently aquires Gleep at the bazaar on Deva. Be enthralled by following the characters from Skeeve's home dimension of Klah to the bazaar on Deva and back to rescue the world from the evil wizard, Isstvan. The story is enchanting, the dialog is hilarious, and the characters are, well, many dimensional. If I were to write a book, I hope it would be as entertaining as this one
Rating: Summary: Must-read for anyone who likes Fantasy Review: Skeeve, a young magicians apprentice, who isn't very adept at magic, only wants to learn enogh magic to become a thief. Then one day his world is turned upside-down when, after summoning a scaly green demon,his master is killed by assassins. Skeeve joins forces with Aahz, the demon, who turns out to be a magician from the world of Perv, who has now lost his powers. The book is hilarious, the characters are interesting, and this book gives tired fantasy conceptions a whole new spin. The first in a series, I reccomend this book, and its sequels, very highly. You will not stop laughing.
Rating: Summary: Great job Mr. Asprin Review: The book itself is wonderful and author does a wonderful job of explaining the years of conflict in the in this particular region of the world. There are times particularly in the introduction when you want the author to shut up and get on with the story. Later on you see how much this one example(in the beginning) kind of weaves all of the points to come together. Overall-Good book if you like history (and good journalism)

Rating: Summary: One of the BEST breaks from reality I have ever read! Review: The characters are fun and believable if the story seems unbelievable...how could anyone get in such a mess. What fun! I read fantasy to take a break (mind-break) from everyday life. This one is quick, easy, and a pure delight to read. Thank you Mr. Asprin. You gave me just what I needed. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants some out of this world fun.
Rating: Summary: Great series for all ages that can read! Review: The companions you will meet in this series of book will keep your imagination going for a long time. You feel you know each character personally
Rating: Summary: Another Fine Book Review: The Myth-Adventures of Aahz and Skeeve start here! Yes, you read that correctly. The adventures of the infamous dimension-hopping duo, whose deeds have been immortalized by the great Robert Asprin, begins with this fine book. THRILL! As the Demon Aahz loses his powers! MARVEL! As the Klahd Skeeve learns how to use magik! JEER! As the diabolical Isstvan plots against are heroes! DROOL! As the voluptuous Tanda gives are heroes a helping hand! LAUGH! As our heroes get screwed time and time again! This is a good book, really.
Rating: Summary: Laughter at its best Review: This book ands those in the series had me hooked as no book has done before. I awoke reading and fell asleep only when it was finished. They are small and quick and highly addictive. I walked to the store two miles away twice in the same day to get the next in the series and would look up hardly once while I walked back. I would give this to my friends and family. Give it a try.
Rating: Summary: Asprin or fantasy fans, read this book! Review: This book is a fantastic example of a Piers Anthony inspired fantasy book,distinguished by the puns and overall feeling. This book was given to me by my aunt and introduced me to a wonderfully fun fantasy series in which I have now read many books. A fantastic book and I suggest you read it
Rating: Summary: I read it once...and read it again and again! Review: This book is definitely a best. In fact, I'd give it a 15 on any 10 scale. The author, Robert Asprin, is a true genius. I picked ANOTHER FINE MYTH out in the young adults section of the public library, thinking it'd be a good read (at that time, because of it's cover, catchy title, and the stuff on the back cover) and was pleasantly surprised when it surpassed all of my expectations! Now, I've read it (and all the books in the series) for the god knows how many-eth time (though, admittedly, while waiting for the next book in the series to come out...and when is that?) and still enjoy it immensely. The books incorporate fantasy, adventure, humor, and the facts of life into one awesome package. Where can one find Skeeve or Aahz, I'd like to know! [9B-)
