Natalie Chow nataliechow — The First Xanth Book 22 August 2011 I read this book a very long time ago so my memory of it is very hazy. However, it is unlikely that I will read it again therefore I will write a brief commentary on it. Piers Anthony was one of the more popular authors of young adult fantasy and science-fiction back in the 80's and I suspect that he still writes even today. Apparently this book was going to be made into a film (Hollywood are looking at a lot of books to see if they can capitalise on the Lord of the Rings phenomena, however this book, and in fact this series, comes nowhere close to the Lord of the Rings). Xanth is a magical world appended to our own world (known as Mundania) that is ironically shaped a lot like Florida (maybe because that is where Anthony comes from). In Xanth everybody has a magical talent, except for young Bink, and because he does not have a magical talent he is exiled to Mundania. There is a magical shield that separates Xanth from Mundania so that the mundanes cannot cross over into Xanth, and if a Xanthite (or whatever they are called) crosses over they cannot return). In Mundania Bink encounters Trent, an evil wizard that was exiled from Xanth for trying to usurp the throne, and he also meets a hideously ugly, but incredibly intelligent, woman named Fanchon. However, Fanchon will change depending on the time of the year, to average and then to beautiful and dumb. Fanchon (who is actually Chameleon) considers this power to be a curse and the only way that she can escape it is to flee to Mundania where she will revert to her average form. Some have criticised Anthony on his sexist attitudes in this book. Now, as mentioned, it has been a long time since I have read this book, but in other books that I have read there does tend to be a sexist tinge about it. For instance, in Bio of a Space Tyrant the man character, a male, is constantly commenting on his effect on women. Here, Chameleon is either ugly and smart, or beautiful and stupid. It is suggested that she can't be the other way around, but then again that is her magical talent. Some have suggested that this book is about self-discovery. In a sense yes it probably is as Bink comes to learn about who he is and what his talent is, and also as Chameleon comes to terms with her talent. However it is also about being an outcast. A lot of young adult fantasy is like this, where the main character is a nobody, or even an outcast, and then ends up taking the main role in the story. It can be somewhat deceitful though as we are not always called to be world saving heroes, but it does give us the support in knowing that each an every one of us has a role to play in this world.
