Book Review: Another Fine Myth by Robert Asprin
Ok...been trying to read more. I love a good book and use to read a lot in me younger days....did I just say that? Anyways, just finished a book by Robert Asprin called Another Fine Myth. It is (i think) the first book in a series of books by Asprin. The back of the book reads:
Skeeve was a magician's apprentice - until an assassin struck and his master was killed. And just before he died, he had summoned a purple-tongued demon named Aahz as a practical joke. Now, Skeeve and Azhz are on their own.
Aahz had lost his powers. Skeeve had lost his job. So together, they set out through a universe populated by Deveels, Imps, dragons, unicorns, and more, looking for a way to get even...
The Library Journal describes the book as: "Breezy, pun-filled fantasy in the vein of Piers Anthony's Xanth series...A hilarious bit of froth and frolic."
To be honest, that statement explains it all. I read a lot of the Xanth series growing up. Hell, the first book I read besides school related and kiddie stuff was Anthony's Xanth series. I will for sure get more from this Myth series because it is soo very good. I know some of you are thinking Discworld...well, I read the first book of that series recently and even though I enjoyed and finished it, I enjoyed this book better so it wins. What can you do?
Well, go pick this book up or if you know me and actually interact on a personable level with me borrow it from me. I don't think anyone will be dissapointed with it. Plus its only like 200 pages of decent sized text so its not too long to get through.
Layta!
