Customer Reviews

Another terrific Xanth novel.

This book was one of the best that I've ever read... and I've read a ton of books. In this book, Gary Gargoyle encounters a pollution that he can't purify, so he goes to the good magician for help. Not surprisingly, the good magician tells him what he needs then sends Gary off to do the job he must do for repayment of the good magician's service of helping him. He gets a hard job though... tutoring (Remember Grundy and Rapunzel's daughter?) Surprise!

Full of Magic, Puns and Unique Characters

This book started out as easy reading - comprehensible and not much to the story line. As the book progressed, however, the plot became more detailed as more and more characters were introduced. I would recommend the reader to definitely have a strong imagination to picture the intricate objects explained in this book, as well as the scenery. I found this book to be most enjoyable; I read it in only three days. I definitely look forward to reading more Xanth books, this being my first.

i love anthony's xanth series!!!!

this is definitely one of the best xanth novels yet. i have been collecting his works and they are fabulous. i especially like all the cute,sexy things that the characters say and the author's approach to sex and things that relate to it. wonderful book!!!!

I love Piers Anthony!!

I think that Piers Anthony is the best writer of all times. When I started reading Geis of the gargoyle I left it at a friends house and she refused to return it untill she was finished with it but I think all the books were great!!

"It was the best book I read in years"

I think that Piers Anthony is a great writer.When my friend let me read the book I just had to start collecting.So the next day I went out and bought as many Piers Anthony books as I could afford.Now I am a devoted reader and will keep collecting as long as they're out there.
