Summary: Jumping the shark
Review: Robert Asprin had a great thing going with the Myth series -- it was funny and inspired for a long time. But, I guess all good things must come to an end.Pretty much everything after the very good 'Little Myth Marker' has been a disappointment to me. That seems to be the point when the books became less about the story and more about the author seemingly using his characters to pontificate about the stock market, relationships, celebrity, and the meaning of friendship. I really got the feeling sometimes that he was using Skeeve and the other characters to work out his own personal issues -- the problem was that it was pretty transparent that this is what he was doing. The earlier books were more about "adventures" -- what Skeeve, Aahz, Tanda, and company were doing. When this series started to be about "feelings," I just found it harder to keep my interest up. A comic/farcical series like this is just not the forum for rambling on about life, the universe, and everything. Also, when other characters started to serve as the narrator, it just became very annoying and silly for me. The longer the books went on, the more glaring the inconsistencies became. My investment in the series kept me reading and will likely sustain me if Asprin ever decides to actually release the next book and resolve the cliffhanger that he so rudely left his readers with (if the guy wasn't ready to write the next book in some reasonable time period, then why the heck do the suspense ending with your audience). This series is wonderful and entertaining -- to a point. The cautionary tale is, I suppose, that authors should not sign deals to write a big handful of other books unless they are sure they can maintain interest, focus, and quality.

Summary: Myth-ed the Mark
Review: Robert Asprin tampered with a winning formula and it shows. Not only has Skeeve changed from the lovable dolt we knew him as but he's changed for the worst. There's a lot more contemplation in this book (who needs that in a lighthearted sci fi?) and a corresponding lack of action. What most endeared readers to the Myth series were the comical complications that Skeeve would get himself into. This book is a disappointment. Stick with the previous ones and save yourselves a letdown.

Summary: I hope
Review: Robert, I, like many of the other reviewers of this book, have fallen in love with your myth. Every book in this series has been a joy to read. I am such an admirer of the depth of these books that I reccomended them to my brother who has since fallen in love with them too. Like many others, I fear that "Sweet mythtery of life" will be the last book in this series. However, I hope that you will find the next book in you and continue (or end) your myth as you see fit. Please let us (your loving readers) know how youre doing. Please keep us posted, as you did before, on your progress. We will always be your fans.

Summary: Sweet Mythteries
Review: Sweet Mythteries of Life was very typical of Robert Asprin. His humorous writing is always appreciated by me. Fantasy all the way. This book showed Skeeve, the main character, growing up and his "love life", etc. Definitely interesting and worth reading, but bother to read the other "myth" books first. They are all very good. Easy read, rather humorous.

Summary: Don't buy this book
Review: Talk is silver, and silence is gold, but SCREAMING might just be the kick Asprin needs, to get on with it.
I do not agree that this is a bad book, just a half one. Hence the 3 stars.
I would strongly advice new readers to the MYTH series to hold back their purchases until a date for a sequel is set. But when the date is set, I'll personally make sure that everyone I know hears, about Skeeve and his companions. I think it is about time that Asprin continues, or hands it over to another author to carry on. Alternative the publisher should stop selling all the MYTH books, to save other innocent readers from buying this three-wheeled car. It is infuriating to get hooked like this, just to be let of the hook, in this way. BTW. There is no doubt in my mind that Gleep will live to wander the bazaar again. (I hope)

Summary: Worst book of the Myth Adventure series by far.
Review: This book has no point. The whole book is Skeeve trying to either fall in love or find out who he's in love with. There is no resolution. The only good part in the book is Skeeve's date with the vampire. Overall, lousy.
Rating:
Summary: NOT the best
Review: This book was alright, I guess, but I find myself longing for the days when Skeeve was innocent and naive? It just seems that as these books go on Skeeve has less and less of his trademark benevolence. The plot wasn't that great either, being somewhat repetitous. Read it to see how the series progresses, but don't expect any greatness.
