Summary: I loved the Mode books and I'm 42!
Review: I loved the Book. I found it to be for all ages. My daughter started reading the books after a Motorcycle accident broke both arms and her jaw. She loved the colorful characters that took her out of her room for a few hours. I have read many fantasy books but the Mode books have a unique quality. We both wish he would write the fourth book. I suggest that anyone who is into fantasy books read this one it's worth the time.

Summary: Attention Piers Anthony
Review: I remember reading Virtual Mode back in high school when I was feeling a lot like Colene and finding a wonderful release in her travelling through various worlds. I have enjoyed all the books in this series and anxiously await the next book. Whenever I am in a book store I look at your newest books for hopes of mention of the next Mode series book in the Author's notes. Please, please. I humbly beg you to continue this series. Don't leave those of us who have come to love these characters wondering what happens to them. Sequiro ... Will they ever see him again? We're waiting...

Summary: the best book by Piers Anthony so far
Review: I started reading Mr. Anthony's Mode series this year. Of the three books, Chaos Mode is definitely the best. His portrayal of Colene is so realistic that I was on the verge of tears a few times. Compared to the Xanth series, I feel that mode novels are better because they contain more depth of feeling. I have heard a rumour that he won't be writing anymore Mode novels, but Mr. Anthony, if you happen to read this, please think of continuing writing. There are lots of fans out here waiting to to know what will happen to Colene and Darius in DoOon Mode and how their relationship will progress.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: I thought that this whole series was one of Mr. Anthony's best. His ability to write about the character of Colene illistrates his versitility as an author and his ability to create characters that people can identify with. I grabbed all 3 of these books as they came out, and I was sorry to hear, from Mr. Anthony himself (in one of his newsletters), that there will not be any more books in this series. (Blame it on the publishers, I guess) For what it's worth, the 3 books that made it to the shelves are more than worth the read. A must for the true Anthony fan.

Summary: A Damn Good Book <G>
Review: I've read a lot of reviews on here, i've noticed mostly good ones, but a few weren't... Although i believe everyone has a right to an opinion, i think that the people writing these reviews were EXTREMELY conservative... Conservatives, are people who admire radical centuries, long after they're dead, maybe they should learn to appreciate our century and these books more... <G>Anyway, the series is wonderful, with rich, and highly detailed characters. i would say colene was my favorite, she has so many qualities, but she can not see them, tis a shame... Hope Piers writes another book in the series soon! <G>

Review: It's books like these that give Sci-Fi/Fantasy a bad name

Summary: Kind of meaningless...
Review: This book really seems to be targeted towards 14-year-old children, if not specifically boys. I know "Colene" a girl, is the main character, but having her run around in various states of undress, always trying to seduce her love interest, etc. can best be appreciated only by pubescent boys. I rapidly grew tired of hearing over and over again the qualities of the characters and how Colene was a 'vessel of dower'. I wonder if Piers Anthony really thought this had to be drummed into the reader's head lest they forget or if the author was simply trying to fill in space. After I had finished about two thirds of the book I looked at the cover and noticed for the first time that this was part 3! I wondered how this story line could have been repeated two previous times, ouch! I must also admit that I often wondered how this book could have been published in the first place, as it is so juvenile. Oh well, I did enjoy the last part of the book when the 'hive' went to seqiro's mode but it is not worth the whole book to get to. Is there really a market for this stuff? I have a strong feeling that the author is playing out many of his own pubescent unresolved conflicts and unfulfilled fantasies within the pages of this book. I wonder if his other books are any better

Summary: Sci-fi at its best
Review: This is the best type of a science fiction... a world that hasnt existed but could have... the use of the Burgess Shale creature is unique, fascinating, and down right awsome. A must read for any person interested in biology, what if, altertative worlds, or science fiction. kj

Summary: Chaos Mode is simply one of Piers Anthony's best!
Review: This is the third book of the Mode series, Which started off with a young girl (Colene), who was in a no end situation on earth, and a middle aged man (Darius), who was in search of a wife. In this episode, they find themselves in a strange new reality, with an even stranger creature right in front of them. In no time, however, this creature (Burgess), becomes part of their party and helps them survive his reality and move on to their ultimate goal, to get to Darius' reality, where Colene can be his mistress and have the blissful life she's always craved. However, they once again encounter that pesky mind predator, causing them to be sidetracked many times during their course through the virtual mode on their way to paradise. Follow Darius, Colene, Seqiro, Nona, and Burgess through the different realities, in their never ending adventure. Experience the fear, worry, joy, and anxiety they have while traversing those realities. But beware, for the heartbreaking separation at the end is enough to bring tears to the most unemotional reader. This story will take you though a rollar coaster of emotions, and will have you longing for the next installment. It is in my opinion, one of Piers Anthony's best!
