Rating: Summary: 2-cents worth Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. Piers Anthony is a great writter of science fiction fantasy. Something to reflect on from reading this book, if you were to become satan, would you feel a moral obligation to uphold the balance of evil vs good in the world? There is so much more, but itwas an inspiration to read the entire series. I couldn't put it down. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Loving Evil Review: This is one of the best books in the universe. It explains for how the immortal Satan was in life, death, and beyond. It explains how he shakes the earth with evil, and even makes a deal with the Angel Gabriel. This explains why there is more evil in the world than good, and the purpose of life. It has much logic and isn't for a non-commited person. It's long enough to be satisfying, and short enough to be interesting. Piers Anthony did it again!
Rating: Summary: One of Anthony's finest Review: This is one of the most thought provoking books I have ever read. Anthony leaves behind the traditional notion that the devil is pure evil and instead attempts to portray Satan as a sort of governor of hell, who is trying to make it better for its denizens. Parry, the character who takes over as the devil is a nice guy who basically starts acting evil once he becomes Satan. Even as Satan however, Parry retains some of his good side. As in all of the books in the Incarnations of Immortality series, this book has superb character development and an enthralling plot. This book was very enjoyable to read and I would recommend it to all.
Rating: Summary: A great way to start ending a series Review: This was a very well written book with a well thought out storyline. It had the perfect mixture of action, adventure, romance, and even a hint of comedy from time to time. This being a key book in one of the greatest series that I have read. I never really enjoyed reading until I started reading Piers Anthony. Some people have a problem with letting themselves be taken to another land by the story. They pine too much on the style of writing or how the plot is running. If you want to be completely released into a world of amazing imagination, then this series is perfect. This book did not receive a 5 from me because I felt 3 of the other books were more enjoyable than this one, but this one was still fun to read.

Rating: Summary: The best one Review: This was the best of the IOI series. You are totally into the story. You feel Parry's anguish. Plus he's the Devil so its already interesting. He struggles with his role then he accepts it. Lilith added so much sensuality to the read. The best one I think!
Rating: Summary: Exelent. Nuf said. Review: This was the first book in the seires that I read and it captivated me. My cousin said I should read it and boy was he right!! This was my first book by Anthony but after I read it i ended up bying evry one of his books I ran across. I find his characters colorfull and captivating. The plots are exelent (if a bit predictable) and I highly recomend them to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Starts with a whimper, ends with a bang... Review: With Piers Anthony books, I tend to skip parts that get long winded. This book is no exception. I have really injoyed the Incarnations series, though after a while, hearing each character recap the same events got tiresome. This book drags like no ones business in the first 3 quarters, and then gets really cool in the last few chapters. I would have loved to have had the book written entirely about the events in those last four chapters or so, with a little more development. Anthony LAVISHES development on the (to me) less interesting beginning of the book and than kind of wraps it up in 2 minutes. All the same, a unique story line and twisting plot makes it a pretty good read.
Rating: Summary: Freaky Review: Wow! This is a great book. The creepy thing is, the more you read, the more you start to *like* Parry (satan). This comepleatly changes your point of veiw toward the other books. When you read them, you know that Satan is wrong and evil and all that. Then you read this... and start to doubt... and by the end your rooting for him!Oh... yes, and it include my favorit IOM character, Jolie. That's always a plus.
