Isle of View by Piers Anthony (1990, Paperback)

Piers Anthony is a terrific writer!!!! I love his books!!! He is imaginative, creative and hysterical! I would recommend anyone read this authors books!!!

Isle of View is the 13th novel in the Xanth trilogy by Piers Anthony.Yes, I said trilogy. What began as a three-book series rapidly skyrocketed, and this book is one of a number of fantastic novels within it. It begins with the winged centaur foal Che being foal-napped, and his dam Chex searching frantically for him. Helping her in the search through the magical and pun-filled land of Xanth is Prince Dolph and his two betrothees,the beautiful Nada Naga and the plainly extraordinary Electra.
This book is quite an example of it's kind, and true to all Xanth novels, is filled with tons of punnish wit and hints of the Adult COnspiracy. Hardcore Xanth fans will love the mischeivious and yet surprisingly touching storyline, and newcomers to the series will undoubtedly be hooked on the marvelous magics that abound within the bizarre land of Xanth.
I love this book, because it contained so very many hints and bits and pieces that later became novels unto themselves. I highly recommend this book, and it's 29 currently released brethren, to anyone who enjoys fantasy, romance, and lot (I mean LOTS) of puns.

I have been reading Piers Anthony books since I was in high school. The Xanth series is a wonderful mixture of humor and fantasy. I have enjoyed this book and am trying to get all the books in the series. I highly recommend this book as well as all the rest in the Xanth series. Piers does a great job in writing his books in that you don't need to read the whole series to understand what this book is about. Each book can stand alone but, each book sits nicely in the series.
