Chaos Mode (The Mode Series)

Summary: have you read this?!?
Review: I believe most of the reviews I have read in this site are downright uninformed. I think Piers would agree with me. First of all, the main character's name is "Colene" and furthermore, she is a vessel of "dolor" not dower. Have you people even read this book?!?!?! As in any series there is need for a re-cap of events and character descriptions with each new book. This is a great series, if you read the books and disagree I can respect that, at least you'll have some idea of what you're reviewing

Summary: A neverending wait for the next book??
Review: I can't actually remember when I read this series. I even went as far as subscribing to his monthly newsletter to find out when the next book was coming out. Needless to say I'm still waiting. It's one of the better series I've read.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: I especially enjoyed the careful detail and fluent story-line in both the book and the series. I strongly suggest that the reader reads the series in order so as not to distort the plot in any way. The theme stays more or less the same throughout: Five people travel through different worlds each for their own reason. Everything else, however, is subject to change, including the people and the path taken (since both are connected somehow). Because of this I am surprised that the story seemed to flow so smoothly. In any case, I enjoyed the variety. It distressed me greatly when I found that the story ended so abruptly. I sincerly hope that the fourth book will be soon in comming.

Summary: The Mode Series just gets better and better
Review: I find myself more and more engaged in this series as I read it... and await in anticipation for the return of the DoOon, without our saviour Sequiro!

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful and Uplifting!!!!!
Review: I first read this series when I was 14. And although I'm not much older now I can look back to when I was reading it and tell you that that was one of the hardest times of my life, albeit I'm still very young and probably have a lot worse ahead of me. Frankly I was extremely tired all the time, loaded down with homework, and in schools peer pressure is an absolute nightmare. Frankly I was feeling much of what Colene was. So, when I read this book I thought "I can relate to this," well I did for a little while anyway. The point is that Colene waited a while before killing herself and in doing so she found wonderful happiness and wonderful friends. Needles to say, that was very very uplifting and these books helped me get through a hard time. To any people who havne't read it you need to!!! It's absolutely wonderful and even now I will still take out the series and read it over again if I start really downing on myself. I give this book five stars and if you read this book you will understand what I've been babbling about for the past 20 some odd lines.

Summary: Sad news folks...
Review: I have a version of Chaos Mode in which Mr. Anthony describes his reasons for discontinuing the mode series. Apparently, he got a lot of letters of complaint from parents stating that the relationship between Colene and Darius was innapropriate and too graphic. This may have caused the publisher to decide not to continue the series or maybe (and from the letter it sounds this way) Mr. Anthony was offended by all the criticism and decided to discontinue his work as a result of it. In any case, if you're interested I can scan and post the letter somewhere. Just thought you all might like to know.

Summary: love the series. Still waiting for another one to follow!
Review: I have enjoyed this whole series and wonder if anyone knows if Mr. Anthony is planning on writing another sequel. I would appreciate an e-mail if anyone knows the anser to this question.

Summary: Another Great Book
Review: I have never read a Piers Anthony book that didn't impress me. Mostly, I have read books in the Xanth series, and I found this particular book to be a great departure from that particular style.This book was not really that funny, but more series, with amusing situations and a more in-depth storyline than Xanth books.Although it wasn't like Xanth, I was pleasantly surprised to see this different style written by Piers.

Summary: Good, but uneven
Review: I just finished reading this book last night. I love the Xanth series and I enjoyed the first two books in this series. However, this book is not as good in my mind as the first two. The author spends quite a bit of time repeating what happened in the first two books. It is a series, it would be expected that people would have read them in order and know what was going on. Perhaps there was a long time between the 2nd and 3rd? I didn't check on this so am not sure. There were some very good parts and I did enjoy the interactions between the characters but it did get annoying to keep seeing Colene referred to as a "vessel of dolor". At least use different words once in a while. And it seemed like Colene's parents gave in to her relationship with Darius very easily. I know they were afraid of losing her again and Seqiro helped mentally, but she is only 14 and he is much older. All in all, it was good but seemed rushed. I would still recommend the series and am eagerly waiting to see what happens in DoOon Mode.

Summary: When is the next one coming out? I can't wait!!!
Review: I love Piers Anthony because he exceeds at putting both Sci-fi and fantasy together in the same book. The mode series is no different. I love it! I heard he may not make another one. ::is sad:: Why? He left this book off so abruptly, he ought to make at least ONE more book and finish it off there if he wishes to end this fabulous series! ^_^
