Customer Reviews

The first story is a little shaky, but the other is a different story...

Let me say first of all, please do not judge this series by the first book in this 2 part collection. The Myth novels are truly great, witty, light hearted, and entertaining. They are truly enjoyable to read. One of the best things in the series was the amazing cast of characters that added so well to the author's humours and spoofs. With this being said, for the sake of your enjoyment, start with the 2 books in 1 feature of the Myth series, Another Fine Myth/Myth Conceptions. M.Y.T.H Inc Link *** The book starts off solid and takes a little different of a turn from the rest of the series. In truth it is a collection of short stories cleverly weaved together, like in the sense of some of Ray Bradbury's short story collection(but not so masterful, creepy, or deep) and is told from the view points of various members of the crew. This is interesting, and gives a deeper look into the people we've come to know and love, but its the last part of the book that makes this book a pebble in a collection of diamonds. The author here tries to go into how the stress of running the buisness, and this has shocking changed the lovable, caring person we have come to love and is known as Skeeve. Now this is a side of Skeeve that is painful to see, and there are some dull passages relating to this side of him. Myth-Nomers and Impervections ***** A wonderful spoof on metropolis areas like New York, this tale is much truer to the greatness that is the Myth series. Funny and entertaining, this book you're going to enjoy. With this being said, buy the whole series, and then judge it. Don't be surprised when you find yourself reading it again soon after you finished it though.

A chuckle and then some

I like these books. They might not be my favorites in the series but I still think the stories are pretty good. **** In M.Y.T.H. Inc Link, the crew split up to take on different assignments. Aspirin changes his writing style to match the 'tudes of the different characters. This gives you a better understanding of their inner workings. *** 1/2 Myth-Nomers and Im-Prervections reminds me so much of New York(which the RA intended) . . . . but what's not to love about New York. To say the least, I puts a smile on my face.
