Evaluate Containing Books Split Infinity (Apprentice Adept #1)

My god. This book is brutally lame. Don't do it -- there are just some things you can't un-read.

A masterful blending of science fiction and fantasy; the action takes place in two worlds: the technologically advanced planet Proton and the medieval fantasy world Phaze. Our hero, Stile, passes between worlds defeating foes and avoiding death in both. I don't actually want to explain much more about the book. In fact, I'm of the opinion that even the blurb on the back gives too much away. The outcome of a couple of contests is completely spoiled due to that information. In fact, I would

Large number of people running around conducting their daily activities while wearing less clothing than might be seen at a European beach? Check. Intimate scenes in which one of the participants is an anatomically correct robot? Check. Bestiality with a magical mythical creature? Check. Yup, this must be a Piers Anthony novel. After all, he is the same author to have written a book named "The Color of Her Panties". Now I do not want to sound prudish. Well placed and well written sex scenes can

You know that feeling when you remember that you read a thing, and remember it fondly, but then you get that slow, creeping sensation that it isn't actually as good as you remember? That is is, in fact, way worse than you remember?That's how I feel about this book.When I was in my early teens, I really enjoyed reading this. In fact, I really liked quite a few of Anthony's books (Ogre Ogre, A Spell for Chameleon, this means you). I'm now painfully aware of how outrageously sexist they are.Yikes.

This novel feels like it was written by a 13 year old boy who overcompensates for his social awkwardness and self-loathing with outward displays of machismo and misogyny. The sexism in this book is disgusting. Is there redeeming value? Anthony can string words together with variety and an ease. However, the book had horrible pacing. Long parts drug on and on and on in tedium. Also, there were some glaring errors. For instance, the main character prides himself on cleverness, but then says that

I can see why men love this book. After finishing this today, that was my first thought. I was introduced to this book by a friend of mine. He knows I never read sci-fi or fantasy books. Since he recommended it, I thought I would try it . I must say, the thought of reading this book did not appeal to me at all. I am a very logical person. I can not imagine unicorns, robots and magic all wrapped up together. It just does not make sense to me. However, as I read I found the characters complex, the

Sometimes I'll think back to books I've read. And sometimes I regret it.This is one of those times.About 4 years ago I borrowed a friend's copy of Split Infinity, because I saw it on her bookshelf and instantly nostalgiabombed- I, too, went through a huge Piers Anthony phase in high school.And I was reminded why I stopped reading his books, and never finished this particular series... let alone this book. Because there were TWO INSTANCES of rape within the first two chapters. Not only were my
