Meh

A funny premise with an amusing story, but I don’t want to read the rest of the series.

Another Fine Book

The Myth-Adventures of Aahz and Skeeve start here!Yes, you read that correctly. The adventures of the infamous dimension-hopping duo, whose deeds have been immortalized by the great Robert Asprin, begins with this fine book.THRILL! As the Demon Aahz loses his powers! MARVEL! As the Klahd Skeeve learns how to use magik! JEER! As the diabolical Isstvan plots against are heroes! DROOL! As the voluptuous Tanda gives are heroes a helping hand! LAUGH! As our heroes get screwed time and time again!This is a good book, really.

One of the BEST breaks from reality I have ever read!

The characters are fun and believable if the story seems unbelievable...how could anyone get in such a mess. What fun! I read fantasy to take a break (mind-break) from everyday life. This one is quick, easy, and a pure delight to read. Thank you Mr. Asprin. You gave me just what I needed. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants some out of this world fun.

I read it once...and read it again and again!

This book is definitely a best. In fact, I'd give it a 15 on any 10 scale. The author, Robert Asprin, is a true genius. I picked ANOTHER FINE MYTH out in the young adults section of the public library, thinking it'd be a good read (at that time, because of it's cover, catchy title, and the stuff on the back cover) and was pleasantly surprised when it surpassed all of my expectations! Now, I've read it (and all the books in the series) for the god knows how many-eth time (though, admittedly, while waiting for the next book in the series to come out...and when is that?) and still enjoy it immensely. The books incorporate fantasy, adventure, humor, and the facts of life into one awesome package. Where can one find Skeeve or Aahz, I'd like to know! [9B-)

I wish I could write a book as entertaining as this one!

Skeeve, a magician's apprentice. Aahz, a green scaly Prevect from the dimension of Perv. Gleep, Skeeve's pet dragon. Tananda, a green haired, shapely assassin. These are just a few of the characters you'll fall in love with just from reading this first book in the Myth series. Follow the adventures of Skeeve as he meets and becomes the apprentice of Aahz and accidently aquires Gleep at the bazaar on Deva. Be enthralled by following the characters from Skeeve's home dimension of Klah to the bazaar on Deva and back to rescue the world from the evil wizard, Isstvan. The story is enchanting, the dialog is hilarious, and the characters are, well, many dimensional. If I were to write a book, I hope it would be as entertaining as this one
