Start at the beginning, in Another Fine Myth, as Skeeve, an apprentice wizard, meets the demon Aahz. Though it's not love, or even like at first sight they form a connection-saving their lives-between them. Follow them in Myth Conceptions, as Skeeve and Aahz test their talent when they decide to take on an entire army themselves and continue on in Myth Directions. Then Skeeve finds himself alone with his own apprentice applicant, a king, in Hit or Myth and must deal with a medieval Mob! In Myth-ing Persons living up to one's reputation can be murder. Can a Character Assassin who tries to discredit the team in Little Myth Marker break up the team for good?

3.0 out of 5 stars
Fun Stories, but needed editing,
By Midnight Reader (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures Volume 1 (Paperback)
First off, I have enjoyed the anthology, but have a few complaints. After reading about 15 stories in a row between Michael Connelly and John Sandford I needed to lighten the mood a bit and these stories did a wonderful job. If we stopped here this would have been a five star review. My biggest complaint was the editing. It looks like Volume One was put together by scanning the prior books. This lead to words being hyphenated mid page or Ls turning up as 1s, other areas had extra or missing line breaks. It was enough to distract me while reading. Hopefully, if another printing is run, corrections will be made. Are the errors rampant? I am not sure how to answer that, I like to pre-read files for people and look for errors when reading. I may be remembering more errors than reality shows. Would I still buy this? I do not know. The stories are worth it, the question is one anthology or separate books.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good collection, some of it a terrible OCR job,
By
This review is from: Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures Volume 1 (Paperback)
I'd read four of the six books contained in this collection before, and I figured it was a good deal for the whole series (or will be whenever Volume 2 arrives). However, it should be noted that while for the most part the text is fine there are sections where it's very apparently a terrible scanning job from a previous printing. Indentation all over the place, words hyphenated in the middle of a line, punctuation showing up out of nowhere, and in one especially bad page many of the words end in subscripted letters. It's obvious that whoever was supposed to be checking the scanned text, didn't. Very distracting.
As for the content of the books: it's alright. I'd read them originally when I was much younger, and they don't "age" well. Not as bad as Piers Anthony (which I also read at that age). The last two or three books are much better, if you can make it through the junk of the first ones. Good light reading before bed, etc.

What the heck?,
This review is from: Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures Volume 1 (Paperback)
OK don't get me wrong the books are very very good and deserve 5 stars. The problem I had was the copy I purchased was full of typo and typsetting problems. I also was infuriated by the fact my copy repeated about 80 pages over again and omitted that many pages of Little Myth Marker.
My only hope is that other copies of this were not as bad because these books are great. Ahz and Skeeve may be the greatest con men of all time. I know it starts off a little slow for Skeeve to deserve this title but by the end of Little Myth Maker he really comes into his own. I only hope that Volume 2 that bought from Amazon does not suffer from the same typo problems.
