    <body><![CDATA[The first book in these series was fantastic, but it seemed to go down hill from there as they got progressively more abstract. The series did spark an interest in fractals for me though. Perhaps if I understood more about them back then, I might have liked the later books better.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Refreshing to reread this book again. Piers Anthony takes a fantastatic setting and weaves scary social issues into his narrative. I have been a long time fan of this prolific author. He is one of my personal favorites.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Piers Anthony writes great, but often less than memorable fantasy. I really love reading them while I'm reading them, but few of them stick with me. This is no exception.]]></body>
