What an awful read. I am a HUGE fan of the original 9 myth books and, after years of patient waiting, had given up hope that there would be any more. I was flabbergasted to find out that 3 more had been written and hurried to purchase/ read them. This book follows on from both "Myth-Nomers & Im-Pervections" and "Myth Inc In Action."
In my humble opinion, this book should never have been written and makes a shameful attempt to recapture the Myth spirit. It is BADLY written and riddled with disgustingly forced fugazi humour. None of the Myth characters are properly maintained, instead seemingly press-ganged into a shadow of their former selves. The story is weak, and elements so carefully orchestrated in earlier books are dismissed with barely a nod of the head. Poor Cassandra, just one example of many I could mention.
You'll be wasting your time if you read this. For die-hard fans, I strongly recommend that you read no further than the afore-mentioned "Myth-Nomers & Im-Pervections" and "Myth Inc In Action." If you have to read it, make sure it cost's only a handful of pennies, clearly not worth anything more than that. Unfortunately I am forced to award a one-star as I write this review, which it clearly does not deserve. Disgusting.

True, this is not up to Aspirin's previous works in the MYTH series, but I think that all of us fans should all remember that the only way we are going to get what we want (more _quality_ MYTH books) is to lay off and give the guy room to breathe. We should be more supportive instead of screaming that we're dissatisfied - whoever heard of psychological healing due to abuse? I want him to get better so I can find out what happens next, so LAY OFF!!!!!!!!!

Don't buy this book
Talk is silver, and silence is gold, but SCREAMING might just be the kick Asprin needs, to get on with it.

Very Dissappointed -- story line stunk, writing ok
This mostly seemed like a mouthpiece of the author's personal life and a way to escape it.

Asprin is really starting to hate this series...
...and it is starting to show. The last few books in the series, starting with Number 7 (M.Y.T.H Inc. Link) have taken a real down turn in quality. Read more
