Summary: A Love For Xanth
Review: I have read many a Xanth book and the trick is DO NOT TAKE IT TO SERIOUSLY! Xanth book are fun. The puns are helarious and i would recommend this book to anyone that doesn't mind a few(try a million) cheesy jokes. Now i have heard some say that Mr. Anthony doesn't really portray women in a good light but like i said above, don't take the books to seriously. It all fun, and as far as i'm concerned thats what books are for; entertainment. If your not entertained then what is the point?
This book is about a guy named Bink who doesn't seem to have a magical talent and is very near being kicked out of Xanth and into Mundania, our world completely devoid of magic. So of course he goes to the Good Magician Humfrey who sends him on a Quest. On the way he meets Chameleon whom on their third meeting begins to like her. He then gets caught up in another quest of Evil Magician Trents, who was banished many a year ago becuase obviously he was evil. And in the process he discovers he does have a magic talent! but for some reason i don't think the king will believe him...

Summary: Great start to a very, VERY long series
Review: This is the first Real fantasy I ever read, and so it has a special place in my heart.
Piers Anthony creates a land rather like Florida, with some very interesting differences. For one, Every human born in Xanth has a Magic Talent, unique to themselves, and if a person is found lacking such a Talent, they are BANISHED into drear Mundania (Also known as where we leave.)
Even though the series itself is very good, it does get rather repetitious after oh, 20 books!
Xanth is filled with puns, and is a very fun read. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys light hearted stories, that aren't Too sweet.

Summary: It's an ok book
Review: This book was ok. It so would have been better if he left out the nudity in it but besides that it has a good story line and good meaning too it. I won't be buying any of his other book though maybe checking them out at the library but definitely not buying them.

Summary: Painfully sexist and cliche
Review: Anthony seems to lack a basic grip of common courtesy, and any grip at all of sense. I have read many Xanth novels (blind to the error of my ways...) but when I read Spell for Chameleon I refused to read anymore. A Spell for Chameleon operates on the basic principle that pretty women cannot be intelligent and intelligent women are, by nature, ugly; a theory that is degrading to women everywhere. Anthony also makes no secret of this thesis, stating the above overtly towards the end of the book. Anythony's puns are trite and dull, and his characters tired cliches. By far, one of the worst fantasy writers I have every read, to the point where even mentioning his name is banned at some fantasy cons.

Summary: Delightful, Fun, & Timeless Series!
Review: At 13 I started reading the Xanth series and continued up until I was 19, loving every minute of it. It is fun, humorous, and yet involved enough to really enjoy the story line and anxious to read the next one.
What I love about this book, and the entire series, is you can enjoy it at any age. My husband started it when he was 9, I was older, and even now we both enjoy re-reading the books now that we are in our late 20s. A great series for reading as a family!
