Demons Don't Dream: by Piers Anthony

Demons Don't Dream, by Piers Anthony. This book is a fantasy book about two people who go inside this computer game, and play it as if they were really in there. They are searching for "the prize" and they do not know what or where it is. At the beginning of the game, you have to choose a companion who knows the land and can tell you most things about the magical world. The main character is Dug (Doug) an average 15-16 year old male whose adventurous attitude keeps getting him in trouble. Dug is also quick on his feet, so he manages to get himself out of his problems most of the time. Kim is the other player who is smarter then Dug, but is more interested about seeing the world then "getting prize". Kim is amazed at the world, because of all the elves, trolls, dragons, and other magical plants and animals

This book was awesome!

This was the first Xanth book that I ever read, and I've been reading them ever since. Practically everyone I know that has read this book loves it! Piers Anthony writes awesome stories and I recommend this book to anyone that loves puns and magical lands.

Piers Anthony writes the greatest Fantasy books

I have read almost all of his books and they are fantastic. If you are into Fantasy, you well love all of Peirs Anthony Xanth searies. He rules in Fantasy books and I recomend evryone to read his books, If you love cantaurs, fauns, nymphs, and other mystacal creatures, read Piers Anthony!

Excellent Story line

I have read all of Anthony's Xanth novels up to Demon Lover and I find this one to be one of his best. In this one he involves Mundania and gives them a chance to interact with Xanth an idea i am sure all of his readers wishes could happen. I hope Xanth goes on forever for children and adults everywhere.

Demons Don't Dream is the Punniest book I have ever read!

Like all Xanth novels, Demons Don't Dream is full of puns. With witty things from streams of consciousness to outstupiding ogres, the book had me rolling on the ground with laughter with every page. I recommend this book for not only fantasy readers but any reader who likes a good laugh. You follow two Mundanians as they go through a game called the Companions of Xanth, which is actually much, much more than a game...
