5.0 out of 5 stars You Have to Understand Piers Anthony, December 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Race Against Time (Mass Market Paperback)

If you are a Piers Anthony fan, you are probably not hooked on his writing. You are hooked on his creativity. This man has an imagination that cannot be duplicated anywhere. He can look at a droll, everyday item and turn it into a chapter/story. He not only creates imagery in words, but tends to turn the world upside down and around you. He is very thought provoking. If his technique has you down, back up and look for the real gem, imagination.

This review is from: Race Against Time (Mass Market Paperback)

When I read the other review I just had to comment. This WAS an interesting book, but it was a bit childish. It is as if Piers Anthony had several interesting ideas, but didn't really know how to write a novel about them - the results seems confused and unconvincing. I think it's a book to read when you REALLY have nothing else to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Let This One Slip By!, August 6, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Race Against Time (Mass Market Paperback)

One of his best, and often overlooked because it isn't in a series. Piers describes a world of the future where all human beings have "evolved" into one race, and the attempts to create divergent races. VERY thought provoking
