Summary: Hate to badmouth it, but...
Review: This idea that Piers Anthony gives is great. Two worlds - one magic and one technological - is brilliant. The moment a friend told me about it, I went out and grabbed it. The book was also well written. I just couldn't stand the multiple-page long monologues Stile gives frequently. It seemed that every chapter Stile was giving some speech or another about morality or about how great he was at one thing or another. That's another thing that's not so great. I like having a hero who is really good at a few things, but it seemed that Stile was good at everything -riding horses, fighting, the Game, robots, even magic he picked up quickly. Heroes that are too good wind up too bad.

Summary: Naked and loving it
Review: This series (just the first three) are some of the finest and funnest (is that a word?) Science fiction ever written! The world is detailed and original. The story is moving and thoughtfull, and of course all the women are hot and totaly devoted to Stile (the main guy) What more could you want??Oh and so you don't think that this is a totaly sexist, male only book, you should that Stile (the main character) wouldn't be able to open a box of cracker jacks without a women helping him. (guy is hopeless) Unicorns, mages, powerful citizens, this book is THE BEST P-Anthony has ever written.

Summary: The author's concept is original,inventive,and exciting!
Review: This was an alll out amazing book. A friend introduced me to the works and talent of Pier Anthony, and now I"ve read quite a few of his books. His ideas are creative and original. Split Infinity was the second book I've read, and I loved it! However there are some very mature sequences in it, and I mean VERY mature. But if one can get past those, then they'll love the book too! Anthony created many comical little puns and connections to our own world.His themes should enlighten anyone who can pick them up and understand. READ SPLIT INFINITY! If you don't like it, fine, but all together I think it was well written.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: To be concise, this book rules. To be otherwise; I thought that this book was a very good piece of science fiction with enough of a twist to easily set it apart from some others of that genre. The characters are great; Sheen would have to be my favorite, though. (Who else felt sorry for the poor 'bot? *sniff*) The Phaze/Photon concept was very interesting, and I liked seeing it explored further in the later books of this series.

Summary: Split Infinity
Review: Two worlds, one known as Proton and based on science and logic, the other, Phase is based on magic. On Proton lives a master gamesman, Stile, who discovers by accident how to cross between the two worlds. But what should Stile do when he has someone trying to kill him on both worlds? His only means of survival are his skills as a master gamesman, which Stile discovers is how he will work magic. On Proton he has only one friend, a humanoid robot named Sheen. On Phase, Stile has a unicorn and werewolf as his only friends. His fiends on both worlds try to keep him alive as he tries to uncover the identity of his secret assassin as well as keep his lifestyle on the same on both worlds. I think this is an awesome book! It is great for anyone who has ever wanted to believe in magic. A tale of adventure, with unicorns, sorcerores, and robots. This is a great tale for all ages. On a scale of one to ten, I would give it an eleven.

Summary: This book started my ten-year piers anthony habit!
Review: Very imaginative and entertaining read. A friend recommended this book to me during one of my reading "slumps" and I couldn't read enough Piers Anthony for many years after that. I liked the originality of the story and the fact that I didn't know what would happen next. Finally, a book whose ending was a real surprise (rather than the obvious conclusion many books offer up). Well worth your time

Summary: A wonderful book. Takes you to a place you wish you could
Review: visit for real. This was my first book by Piers that I read. I bought it for the cover. It is so neat the way the people can cross over the "curtain" and how everyone has to have a double. If your other self dies in one world, you can then move between them. I was hooked. I own lots of Piers series. I couldn't put the book down. The first part about the game is a little tricky (it was for me) to follow, but then, it is such a nice story that takes you away from the everyday hum-drum. I highly recommend this book!
