2.0 out of 5 stars All the elements are there....but, April 19 2004

This review is from: The Adventures Of Myhr (Mass Market Paperback)

I have to agree with the other reviewers on the separate elements of this book. However, they didn't seem to come together to make this a compelling read. I found myself skimming through many parts to get to the meat of the story. I could not connect with the characters and didn't really care about them. I am a fan of both P.N. Elrod and this genre and tried hard to like this book but in the end could not.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Fun Than A Barrel Of ...Vampires?, Oct 27 2003

This review is from: The Adventures Of Myhr (Mass Market Paperback)

One of my general rules of reading is, "Just because you really like books by a particular author, don't expect to enjoy his/her newest series." I started reading P.N. Elrod's vampire books when the first Jack Fleming novel came out, and I've been a devoted reader ever since. I did, however, resist the lure of "The Adventures of Myhr" for several months, unwilling to branch from vampire stories to a comedy/fantasy about a half man/half cat and his wizard partner.

Stupid move on my part. This book is just an unbelievable amount of fun to read. Myhr is a great character, and by the end of just a few chapters I was already looking forward to another book in the series. How can you resist a character who has the body of a man and the face of a cat, wandering from world to world (with his partner, the wizard) in an attempt to get back home. While his partner handles the magical end of things, Myhr supports them as an entertainer, telling jokes and singing old Beatles songs to people who've never heard of The Beatles. Oh yeah - - people constantly mistake him for the magic practitioner of the pair, which leads to a lot of the fun.

P. N. Elrod has always had a great writing style, but her capacity for humor and the ease with which she pulls together a great story in the midst of the jokes was truly a surprise. I'll be there when the next Myhr book comes along, and you should, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars magic, magic where art thou?, Aug 19 2003

By

K. Maxwell "katmax1" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Adventures Of Myhr (Mass Market Paperback)

Terrin the Texas wizard and his good buddy Myhr (rhymes with purr), are in the middle of being thrown from world to world (like the TV show sliders) when they land in one which quite literally sucks the magic out of people. This is bad news, as magic is how they move from world to world and both of them want to get home!

Myhr is half man-half cat and all fun. This is a light hearted romp that takes you to hell and back, but doesn't take itself too seriously in the process. This is a distinct change of direction for the author Elrod who is better known for her vampire novels.

If you want an enjoyable fantasy with some interesting and funny characters then this book is a good read.
