Customer Reviews

Enjoyable Space Opera

This is quite an enjoyable read. Although set in the far future, this novel contains many of the elements that readers of other Anthony books will recognize; each person (or mutant in this case) has a special talent (sometimes more than one). Our hero's talent is that he is quickly 'forgotten' after you meet him....gone...poof! Right out of your mind. Luckily he is a very moral man\mutant! For better Scifi from Piers Anthony check out Macroscope, or the Cluster Series of books, or his Orn\Ox\Omnivore series.

HIS BEST NOVEL TO DATE IN MY OPINION!!!!!!

MUTE HAS TO BE THE BEST NOVEL I HAVE READ OF PIERS ANTHONY TO DATE. THOUGH I READ THE NOVEL MANY YEARS AGO, I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THE MESMERIZING QUALITY OF READING I RECEIVED FROM IT. I HAVE NOT READ ANY OTHER NOVEL LIKE IT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS NOVEL TO ANYONE. I EVEN CONVERTED A NON-READER TO A READER AFTER THEY READ THIS NOVEL.

Definately a GOOD read!

In my opinion, this really is one of his best books. It is up to par with his incarnations and Xanth series, except you don't have to buy a million books. It was worth the read, definately. It encompasses all the whole genre of scifi, both the fantasy part and the space part. You have your fantasy story in a spacial setting. No matter how hard to find it is, I would recommend this book

An Anthony mega-trilogy rolled into one novel

Piers Anthony's "Mute" is, I feel, one of his best novels. It contains all the elements of his classic series, like the Incarnations of Immortality and Bio of a Space Tyrant, but, you don't have to spend all your money to buy five books. Anthony takes the classic Man vs. Society and puts it into a sci-fi atmosphere like only he knows how. I realize that Anthony is best known for his Fantasy novels (Xanth, really), but his science fiction is excellent. I would rate Anthony in the likes of Heinlein, and perhaps Mute will become Anthony's "Stranger in a Strange Land"
