Summary: This Book Is A Fantastic Journey!
Review: 5 stars!! This book has all the magic of Xanth and then some! Join 3 interesting characters on their amazing quests in the punny, exciting, and wonderful land! Travel into the realm of the gourd and encounter an amazing animated skeleton, head underground and explore the different kinds of creatures who reside there and see how they can help poor Volney who is looking to fix the Vale, find out how Cherie reacts to Chem and Xap's daughter, and much, much, more! If you are a Xanth reader, this is obviously a must-have, and if you are not then this will get you hooked! Remember to look for the other great Piers Anthony novels to suit your taste and quench your thirst for adventure- they're out there waiting for you to order, read, and enjoy them! As a more than satisfied fan of Xanth I truly suggest you do just that with this book....What are you waiting for?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Original, at least
Review: Contrary to what other reviewers state, I find this book and Xanth in total better than Terry Brook's Shannarra for basically one reason: originality. T.B.'s fantasy novels are all imitations of Tolkien, thinly disguised. This one was also more reminiscent of the first Xanth novels, with fewer puns and a connection to the main characters of yore.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: oh no tell they get better than this...
Review: I have up to this point, been a Xanth fan, and gone out of my way to follow the series, which believe me is VERY difficult... anyway after much perseverance I finally got my paws on this one, and it is disappointing to say the least! The puns and creativity seems to have degenerated into serious overkill, that makes it, and the story line brim with tedious, banal, stupidity! I LOVE these books, but they've got to get better than this! PLEASE somebody tell me they get better than this...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Forgot what it is about!
Review: I read this book about a month ago and now i have forgoten what it is about!I do remember the over all plot. Chex the only apparent winged centaur can't figure out how to fly, and she helps out the ogre-human-nymph person [the name escapes me] to turn the kiss-me river back to its normal self. Do u remember the brassy? Well the ogre dude meets up w/ another brassie, and a skeloten on the lost path and brins them into Xanth. They help too. WILL THEY SUCEED? WILL THAT MEAN DEMON GET OFF OF THE DUDE'S BACK? Read the book and find out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Book For people of all ages
Review: I Think this book is a great book for young men having trouble with temptation and a great book to read just for fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest fantasy book ever!
Review: I think Vale of the Vole by the author Piers Anthony is a very good fantasy book. It was also very funny at certain points. I love how Piers Anthony thinks up different fantasy creatures, for instance Nymphs, Ogres, Hippogriffs, Centaurs, Unicorns, Demons, Griffins, and Voles. My faviorte part was when Chex the Centaur learned to fly. The part that I hated was when Ivy, Esk, and Chex went to Castle Roogna. I hope you will read this wonderful book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not Impressed
Review: I'm not impressed with this book at all. Seems to be aimed at people with a low education. I'll recommend it to anyone who didn't graduate pass the sixth grade. If you want good fantasy read Terry Brooks.

Characters with names like Marrow(skeleton), everyone in a certain raced names like Chex, Cherie, Chet, Chester and it goes on and on. Grow up Mr. Anthony this is sixth grade reading.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wow! A real author
Review: It's been a while since I've read the book, but it is a great piece of literature. Piers Anthony has a way of twisting the meanings of words to make the creativity of his piece come to life! Suggested reading to anybody who not only likes fantasy reading, but has an IQ over 100. ;

Rating: 4 stars
