Rendition As Books Golem in the Gears (Xanth #9)
This book falls far short of the others in the series that preceded it, and was a one-star read for the most part. From my perspective, the last chapter redeemed the book to at least a three-star read, and I'd recommmend sticking with it if you've started already and are thus far disappointed. Beyond a few mildly amusing puns, the boxes and lines challenges (both of them) were appealing, but my favorite thing about this book is quite simply the "tough but fair" strategy that appears in the final chapter. Worth a look, mainly because it's such a fast read, but don't start here if you're new to Xanth.

I read the Xanth novels in college and I loved them, the puns and the humor was right up my ally. I cannot remember everyone on its on merit, but the series is funny and fast to read. I now need to get my kids started on this series. If you like fantasy and puns, you will love this group of books.An amusing and whimsical fantasy adventure with excellent comedy and a mixture of intrigue.
9 down, only 30 more to go...
Grundy has been my favorite character since he was introduced into the series because hes never been afraid to speak his mind. He doesnt always do it in the best way and it gets him into trouble he could have avoided and there are times when he should keep quiet and doesnt, but hes not afraid of the consequences of speaking up. I like this book because his less likeable qualities are explained and make him more understandable and his experiences mellow him out without changing him completely.
The story felt a little short, but, over all a good book.
Coming down from the high of Crewel Lye.
The Xanth books by Piers Anthony were some of the first SciFi/Fantasy books I ever read. I love puns so I have always enjoyed them. Upon re-reading them I can see that they have some weaknesses but overall they stand the test of time. They are a fun and fast read that keeps me amused without any deep thinking required.
