The Mundane Baldwin family is blown into Xanth by a Yon Ill Wind. Also, Demon X(A/N)th has made a deal with Demon JU(P/I)ter that he could get one Xanthian to shed a tear. The demons change up by making X(A/N)th into a dragon ass and is only able to talk once explaining to a Xanthian what the quest is. As Nimby, Demon X(A/N)th meets Chlorine and makes her beautiful and talented. Together with the Baldwin family, they must banish Happy Bottom From Xanth." ( ) Scoshie | May 6, 2011 | I think the main problem with this book is that it came hard on the heels of 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman - and I think any book would seem flat after that. Also this doesn't measure up to the other books in the Xanth series - it doesn't flow as well - the characters are all quite insipid and there are so many 'major' characters that none of them are given the 'life' they most justly deserved. A Mundane (human) family is blown to Xanth by a tropical storm that threatens the land's existence. To save Xanth and to win a cosmic wager, the Demon X(AN)th must become Nimby, a mortal, ass-headed pink-and-green-striped dragon and wring an unlikely tear from the hard-hearted maiden Chlorine. Anthony relates each episode of this frothy adventure through a different character's eyes, which added to the confusion. The quest was not compelling, the characters just seemed to be going through the motions, even the puns seemed tired and less witty than I remember from previous books in the series.

This Xanth villain is full of hot air. "Anthony's unflagging sparkle, verve and wordplay spin everyday trials of Mundane life into storytelling gold" (Publishers Weekly). A fickle flux in the fabric of space has allowed a horrendous hurricane to blast into Xanth, stirring up mischief and madness wherever she goes. Trapped in a preposterous form by a cosmic wager, the Demon X(A/N)th must join forces with a vexatious vixen named Chlorine to save Xanth from this terrifying and tempestuous threat. Their companions on this haphazard quest are a hapless human family--Jim and Karen Baldwin and their two teenage sons, David and Sean--gusted into Xanth from the mundane world beyond. Together they encounter a host of turbulent misadventures as they struggle to keep Xanth from being blown off the map forever. "Just the thing for pun-happy funsters." --Kirkus Reviews Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
