Rating:  - Skeeve is back! - with mods...
Skeeve the Great is back. The Great Magician Skeeve is back in a rip-snorting, lollygagging new adventure and he is as good as he used to be!
This book is the first in the new series of Skeeve books and Robert Asprin has taken on an collaborator (Jody Lynn Nye) to help him write the next installment in this humorous adventure saga that manages to poke fun at mayn sacred institutions. This is the first volume from a new publisher and also the first under this collaborative arrangement ... Read More
Rating:  - I can't believe Asprin wrote this.
I've loved his previous books, but Robert Asprin completely dropped the ball... that is if he even wrote the book. The glaring mistakes in the world he created, as were pointed out by other reviewers, makes me question whether or not he took much of a hand in writing it. Even more suggestive of a limitted role is the vastly different style that this book is written in which is, quite frankly, just NOT funny anymore (not even mildly amusing!). The characters don't even have personalities consistent ... Read More
Rating:  - Did it really need to take 29 chapters?
As a long time MYTH-series lover, I was so excited to have a new MYTH book to read. I was terribly enthusiastic through MYTH-ION Improbable but my reading pace slowed to a crawl through MYTH Alliances. The plot was predictable, the puns came across as merely a substitute for imagination, and I really didn't feel as if I were getting to know the characters any better. You could see where the plot was headed from chapter 1. Three weeks on my desk and 29 chapters later, it went exactly where I thought ... Read More
Rating: - Postmodern Gobley gook
The bad guys aren't really bad; the good guys aren't really good. There is none of the humor, sensibilities, or character of his first three books in the series.
Mr. Asprin can be a fine, funny writer but has a tendency to lose both control and track of his characters. What started out as a fine funny romp in 'Another Fine Myth' has settled down into formulaic nonsense in which the characters don't have character, they have stereotypes. The characters aren't flawed, they are plot points. ... Read More
Rating:  - This book does not disappoint
I enjoy humor and I love punny tales. I only started reading this series (after myriad recommendations) earlier this year. Trust me, if you have a funny bone, be sure to have a glass of water at hand, you may very well need it.
