Piers Anthony is one of my favorite authors but this is one of the worst books that I have ever read. Predictable, bad plot, poorly developed main character, rushed story line, uninteresting climax of events; a complete failure and waste of reading time. I will read incarnations of immortality 3 but if it is half as bad as this I will discontinue the series. Sorry Pier's this one book of yours that would better serve the readers of the world as toilet paper, you missed the mark on this one.
