Mute

Summary: His BEST book ever!!!
Review: I read this book years ago (12) and found it truely exciting. I am an avid Xanth series reader, and eagerly await the newest releases in this ongoing saga, but MUTE is be far Anthony's best single volumn novel to date. I have searched for this book since the first time I read it--when I checked it out of the local library--and am finally glad to have added it to my personal collection via Amazon.com.

Summary: Definately a GOOD read!
Review: In my opinion, this really is one of his best books. It is up to par with his incarnations and Xanth series, except you don't have to buy a million books. It was worth the read, definately. It encompasses all the whole genre of scifi, both the fantasy part and the space part. You have your fantasy story in a spacial setting. No matter how hard to find it is, I would recommend this book

Summary: HIS BEST NOVEL TO DATE IN MY OPINION!!!!!!
Review: MUTE HAS TO BE THE BEST NOVEL I HAVE READ OF PIERS ANTHONY TO DATE. THOUGH I READ THE NOVEL MANY YEARS AGO, I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THE MESMERIZING QUALITY OF READING I RECEIVED FROM IT. I HAVE NOT READ ANY OTHER NOVEL LIKE IT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS NOVEL TO ANYONE. I EVEN CONVERTED A NON-READER TO A READER AFTER THEY READ THIS NOVEL.

Summary: An Anthony mega-trilogy rolled into one novel
Review: Piers Anthony's "Mute" is, I feel, one of his best novels. It contains all the elements of his classic series, like the Incarnations of Immortality and Bio of a Space Tyrant, but, you don't have to spend all your money to buy five books. Anthony takes the classic Man vs. Society and puts it into a sci-fi atmosphere like only he knows how. I realize that Anthony is best known for his Fantasy novels (Xanth, really), but his science fiction is excellent. I would rate Anthony in the likes of Heinlein, and perhaps Mute will become Anthony's "Stranger in a Strange Land"

Summary: Enjoyable Space Opera
Review: This is quite an enjoyable read. Although set in the far future, this novel contains many of the elements that readers of other Anthony books will recognize; each person (or mutant in this case) has a special talent (sometimes more than one). Our hero's talent is that he is quickly 'forgotten' after you meet him....gone...poof! Right out of your mind. Luckily he is a very moral man\mutant!
For better Scifi from Piers Anthony check out Macroscope, or the Cluster Series of books, or his Orn\Ox\Omnivore series.
