Summary: The Magical Quest
Review: The novel Man From Mundania, by Piers Anthony, follows the journey of an unlikely couple on their quest to find the Good Magician and to save the magical world of Xanth. The Good Magician, also known as Humphrey, has the magical talent of knowing the answer to any question. He mysteriously dissappeared and the land of Xanth is going into chaos without his knowledge. The journeying couple consists of Ivy and Grey. Ivy is a princess and sorceress in the magical land of Xanth and is the one that is originally journeying to find the Good Magician. Grey is a seemingly ordinary human being who comes from the dull land of Mundania. He meets Ivy on her quest and ends up joining her. The couple continue their journey to find Humphrey and instead discover an evil machine's plot to take over Xanth using Grey and Ivy as pawns. I really liked how this story is written and the outcome of the novel is great. I also enjoyed the little puns that can be found throughout the story. All in all, this is a spectacular book and I recomend it to anyone who enjoys a funny, well written novel.

Summary: A good Xanth book after a string of so-so ones!
Review: This is what, the 11th or 12th Xanth book (out of, now, about 25 or so I guess)...the first 4 were great (Castle Roogna and Centaur Aisle were the best), 5-8 were so-so (Ogre Ogre, Night Mare, Dragon on a Pedestal, Crewel Lye, Golem in the Gears) and 9 and 10 were getting good again (Vale of the Vole, Heaven Cent)...I forget if Isle of View was 11, or if this was. Regardless.....!!

Those of you who got bored with books 5-8 (or 5-10, or 2-10) can come back. This was the first really good Xanth book in a long while. It got away, to some degree, from just the sheer silliness of the middle books, and got a little more into characterization than before, which was good.

I also happened to like the fact that Ivy is finally grown (growing) up and played a big part, and the new character, Grey, was good too.
