Smash the Ogre and Tandy the half nymph half human trek across Xanth at the instigation of the Humphrey the Good Magician as the answer to two half-formed questions.
It's a coming of age story. It's a romance. It's all about the groovy soul swapping, man. It's all about the puns. gag Ogre, Ogre is a total let down if I hadn't finished it (as I was tempted not to) I wouldn't have discovered it has a marginally redeeming, if overly moralistic, ending. It's slow, plastic, overly punny boredom. Come on Piers, I'm disappointed in you. I know you can do better.
recommendation? SKIP IT.
