Hit or Myth

Summary: Really entertaining -- don't myth this !
Review: Hit or Myth and it's sequels are a turn from the norm when it comes to sword and sorcery.

The tales hinge on a young lad, a magician's apprentice, who is suddenly on his own when his master disappears while calling up a demon.

Humor and satire are the norm in the series. The demon turns out to be a magician in his own dimentional world from which he was summoned but now can't get back to. He takes a grudging liking to the lad and assists him as the boy continues to try to learn/develop his skill in the magic arts.

The most facinating area of the fantasy world is the dimentional bazaar -- where literally anything and everything is for sale. Our heroes get into one scrape after another, always coming out ahead by a narrow margin.

If you only like 'serious' fantasy, this is not a book for you. However, if you enjoy puns, satire and humor with a fantasy/magic setting, you'll treasure this book and its companions as long as you live -- no mythtake about it.

Summary: Hilarious!!!
Review: I've read most of the books in this series and this one, I have to say, is the best. After reading it I jumped striaght to my computer and ordered the next couple books in the series. If you've never read a book in the "Myth" series, this is definatly the one to start with.

Summary: Delightful Silly....
Review: Just a delight, a quick read and refreshingly goofy. Yes, this takes most film genres and chiches and makes the most of them- from the "sorcerers apprentice" to the "evil demon", the Myth series give them a who new spin.... Like that last piece of chocholate cake- it will leave you wanting just one more.....

Summary: Warning! This book will make you laugh!
Review: This was my first Robert Asprin book, and it will not be my last. With a quirky cast of characters including a murderous princess, a kidnapped mentor, a silly pet dragon, a war unicorn, an absent king, and the mafia, not to mention the apprentice this story revolves around, this is truly an enjoyable read.

It goes quickly enough to be a great vacation book, but don't wait to pick it up! Run out to your nearest bookstore, grab a copy and start enjoying, and laughing. You'll be glad that you did!

And for those that won't trust me and want a preview of the plot, Skeeve, an apprentice magician, is tricked into assuming the kings likeness and place on the throne, by King Rodrick himself! The king then runs away. Why? Because he's about to be married to an infinitely rich princess! Right about then the mob shows up and things really get bad from there, but if you want to know what happens next, buy the book!

Review: This was the first book by Robert Asprin I ever bought, it was the first I had ever seen and most of my friends have spent the last few years being regailed with how brilliant this guy is. The pottential this book showed made me spend ever since looking for anything written by this guy in the hope that he maintained the passion of this book. For the most part I have not been dissapointed, and I am still convinced I was one of the first Brittish people to hear of this guy.. I have one important thing left to say.... BUY THIS BOOK....
