Customer Reviews

hilarious and well-written

Okay, that does it. I'm looking for this series IN ORDER. This is the second Myth book I've read, both of them from somewhere in the middle of the series, and they're hilarious, and well-written enough that I wasn't lost at all, but I really want to see how it all started and read them in order now. In this one, Skeeve's caught between a rock and a hard place: either marry Queen Hemlock, or she'll abdicate, leaving him her throne. In the meantime, he's been hired to balance the kingdom's budget. The puns are relentless, and yet there's a bunch of serious stuff in there about love, marriage... and accounting.

Became a mything person when I was 9

I picked up my first copy of Myth Adventur When I was 9 and never put it down. I think I read the whole set up to Sweet mythtrey of life 5 or 6 times. These books are great from cover to cover. If Anyone knows when Something myth Inc. is due out you have to E-mail me at Bluescape420@yahoo.com . ps. If you haven't read this book yet I have one word for you Gleep!

I hope

Robert, I, like many of the other reviewers of this book, have fallen in love with your myth. Every book in this series has been a joy to read. I am such an admirer of the depth of these books that I reccomended them to my brother who has since fallen in love with them too. Like many others, I fear that "Sweet mythtery of life" will be the last book in this series. However, I hope that you will find the next book in you and continue (or end) your myth as you see fit. Please let us (your loving readers) know how youre doing. Please keep us posted, as you did before, on your progress. We will always be your fans.

Great, but where's the other one?

Oh, you just gotta love Skeeve. How does he go through life worrying day to day about ten situations, all at once? This book, like all others that Asprin has written, does have surprize ending that you can't figure out until the end. The only question in my mind is that he refers to another book that should settle and answer questions about the ending, but where is it?

Good Book, waiting for next one.

I have read this book and it is great. Skeeve's problem with the Queen and the advice he gets makes it a good book to read. I wonder when the next one is coming out.
