Rating: Summary: Different but still great. Review: I agree with Minh Dang (the first reviewer of this book). This book gives insight into the minds and personalities of all the characters involved. I think Asprin really had to change something or risk becoming repetitive or stagnate (he pretty much says so in his introduction). He tried something new and I enjoyed it, although at a different level. This book didn't have as many laugh-out-loud moments, but it has a bit more plot than normal and since it's the beginning of a 5 book contract he was able to start some multiple/cross book subplots.

Rating: Summary: A somewhat unbalanced book, but I still recommend it highly Review: I am a huge fan of the MYTH series by Robert Asprin. This book, which is the 7th in the series, is relatively short, yet serves Asprin's purpose well. The previous 6 books concentrated mostly on the hijinks of the main character, Skeeve. With M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link, Aprin set out to show readers how the world(s) was viewed through the eyes of the other characters. Although some stories were not up to Asprin's usual standards of humor and subtlety, others actually reach the level of ingenuity. For example, the story involving Massha's development of The Fun House was absolutely terrific. And Gleep's tale is without a doubt the most insightful story in the entire book. Readers who pick up this book without having read previous books in the series will view it as a puzzling collection of short stories. However, M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link is still an enjoyable read whether you're a fan of the MYTH series or not.
Rating: Summary: Aspirin combines fantasy and humor for a great read! Review: Skeeve, the struggling magician, isn't your ordinary story hero. He makes mistakes and has friends there to laugh at and help him. The humor is what makes the book a hit. Without it, it would merely be another dull fantasy involving devils, trolls, and dragons. Full of laughs.
Rating: Summary: Not as good as the previous Myth Adventures Review: This book was good, but it hold par with the previous six. While there is more character development on Chumley, Massha, Guido, and Gleep, I liked Skeeve's narration better.
