Alan Dean Foster is amazing yet again in this 2nd book in an amazing series. I have read every one in the series and can say without a doubt, it is in my top 5 of fantasy series. The story of a pre-law student, Jonathan Thomas Merriweather, sucked into an alternate dimention is thrust into a world of savages, sorcery, sex, and song. If you are a Xanth fan, this series is right up your alley. I would suggest buying the whole series at one time, to avoid having to hunt down the next one while itching to find out what happens next. Read it.

Where Jon-Tom has to figure out where his heart lies on certain issues (and on certain people) and nothing is quite what it seems!

I have only read the first three books in this series so far, but I do plan to read the rest because I simply love the style. I have heard this series compared to anthony's xanth series, and having read that entire series (yes every single one so far published) I believe that it is a pretty good comparison, if only that Foster's humor is slightly different, as I have said before, I enjoyed this book emensely and the only reason it's not a 5 is that it is a little predictable
