Customer Reviews

I don't know what some of the other reviewers were reading..

I don't know what some of the other reviewers were reading... but it probably wasn't this book. This third instalment in the "Phule" series easily lives up to its prdecessors, despite some of the other reviews here, some of whom are just plain wrong. For instance, one reviewer wrote that Beeker was not in this book. He is. Another wrote that the second half is written in a different style than the first half. Its not. However, there are a few odd things here and there, such as a reference to the word "freaking" as profanity. I attribute such oddities to editors - even as no battle plan survives contact with the enemy, few manuscripts survive contact with editors. Asprin is in rare form again, and this book is not to be missed by fans of the first two books.

Don't let the critic's Phule you. . .

Critic's don't buy books. People do. If your expecting something like "Gone With the Wind" your in the wrong section. This is a light-hearted comedy from a man that makes the pun an art form. Definetly worth reading several more times.

A great ride

After reading the reviews on this page, I almost didn't buy this book. What a mistake that would have been. I completely enjoyed it - it was funny, and I got the pleasure of reading about my favorite characters again. There were things I didn't like about it - for instance, the second half was rushed, and didn't have the plot development of the first half, but for pure, light hearted enjoyment I got my money's worth. For everyone else that was disappointed - I'm really sorry, but what did you expect - "The Lord of the Rings"? Lighten up!
