By Piers Anthony (344 pgs)

Rating: 4

Bink is a man in a land of magic with no apparent magic of his own. Unfortunately the law is that those with out any kind of magic talent at all must be exile to the dreaded and drear Mundania. Through much adventure, Bink learns that he has a talent but no one can identify what it is.

I read A Spell For Chameleon this when I was in Jr. High and remembered almost none of the plot when I picked it up to re-read it. I have to admit, the love story was much more touching, the characters much more interesting, and the writing much tighter than I remembered it.

Anyone who likes light-hearted fantasy or Douglas Adams would probably appreciate this book.
