Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a comedy and romance to be cherished
Review: a maiden of the black wave is being pursued by a zombie. The story is nothing short of hilarious and romantic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: First of all, I am HUGE fan of Piers Anthony and Xanth. That said, I still liked this book better than the last few writings, because it's inventive and you an realate to the characters. Anthony goes back to a straight human main character, which is good, and I thought the idea of a black person in Xanth was a good idea. One of my favorite parts was how Anthony brings back Dolph, Dor, and Bink as major characters. Another good thing was Jenny Elf's romance. It's good to see her settle down. But my favorite part of the book had to be the Breanna's hatred of the Adult Conspiracy. The Conspiracy has been my least favorite part of the seires. Clio mentioned in the Epilog that something big was going to happen in the next book. Could it be the abolishing of the Conspiracy? Only time will tell.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Zombie Lover
Review: I enjoyed the book itself, the writing always captures and maintains my interest. I usually read these books in one or two days. I have been pleased with Xanth books from the beginning and have not missed a volume. The reason that this book only received three stars from me is the cover art. The story depicts Breanna as a very dark skinned young woman. The cover depicts her as a pale faced girl with dirty or hairy arms and legs. A little more consistancy between the artist and the illustrator would appropriate and appreciated.

I am amazed to find that what seems like such a minor detail is so incremental in causing this book to lose two stars from my vote.

Piers and publishers, you cannot present a wonderfully diverse setting if the marketing on the front tries to appeal to only one group, by making the black character look almost white.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book¿if you haven't read the others in the series.
Review: I enjoyed this book, and even bought it instead of borrowing from the library. But for a faithful Xanth fan, it is a little disappointing. The earlier books were gems. The middle ones were fun. But lately the quality of the plot (not the writing) has gone down. There is still hope for Xanth, though; I read a few Tamora Pierce books like Wolf Speaker and The Woman Who Rides Like A Man which didn't live up to my expectations of her, then WHAM! she retaliates with Emperor Mage and Lioness Rampant. Don't despair, friends: Xanth is not lost forever! In the meantime, check out Tamora Pierce and Gath Nix.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most complex yet potentially important yet!
Review: I have just finished this novel, and must say that it is very complex, yet sets up countless options for the future of Xanth! This book is a story of love, hate, prejudice, potential adultery, and a complete denial and rejection of the Adult Conspiracy! If you love the Xanth novels, you MUST read this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing as the first Xanth novel
Review: I love Xanth...I read this book and found it as intriguing as the first one..."A Spell For Chameleon".. Everytime I get a new Xanth novel I start at the first novel and don't stop till I get to the latest copy.... I love the idea that the Zombies fianlly got a chance to be the main characters to a certain extent...they deserve it.....LOL.

This book will get you hooked on Xanth like "A Spell For Chameleon" did for me..... I started reading Xanth when I got called for duty for Desert Storm........

Keep Up The Great Work Mr. Anthony and I am waiting for Xone of Contention to come out in Paperback to start all over again from volume 1 of the Xanth Series...

Summary: A great Xanth novel
Review: I loved this book so much that I am now buying it as birthday gifts for all my friends. It truly upholds the comedy that is Xanth; and the sheer genius that is Mr.Anthony. I read my first Xanth novel on whim of bordem, and now am hooked, but this is, by far, the most apealing book to date, thank you, Mr. Anthony, fot creating a world as grand as this, and letting us visit it.

Rating: 4 stars
