Customer Reviews

Absolutely one of the best Xanth novels!

Centaur Aisle is one of the best books I have ever read. I've read all of the Xanth novels and Centaur Aisle is the prized one. If you like Harry Potter and you're waiting for the next book to come out, these books will keep you going!

Okay...

first of all, based on the plot and content and stuff i thought this book was very good. it was funny and everything and had everything you could want in a book, but thats not why i give it 5 stars. its because of the incredible writing competency that anthony showed here. He got a good plot going and then held it together and wrapped it up so thoroughly and cleanly that even i couldn't find a single thread of loose end (ooh, i made a metifor) piers anthony is BY FAR the best author i have ever encountered

great, like the rest

16 year old Prince Dor must fill in as temporary king while King Trent and Queen Iris are away on business in Mundania. Two wweks pass, no Trent. Dor decides he (Trent) must have been captured. He gathers a search party, consisting of an ogre, a golem, a centaur, and Princess Irene, who is way more than willing to be Dor's Queen. The party set's off to the Good Magician Humfrey, to ask how they could rescue Trent. Humfrey tells them to seek the Centaur Aisle. So they set off toward Centaur Isle in the south. Mundania, of course, lay to the north. Ingenious plot, as always. Piers Anthony never fails to bring his immortal characters to life.

A great book of magical creatures.

I thought this was a great book. I have also read Castle Roogna and it was pretty good, but Centaur Aisle was much better.When I have read other books in the Xanth Novels, I will write some more.

One Great Book

I thought it was a really great book. It took me about a month to read it but it was worth it. I recomend This book to anyone who enjoys fiction-fantasy.
