"Loved this book! So glad I read it! I found out awhile ago that it was the inspiration for one of my favorite tv shows of all time, Dead Like Me, I could definitely see the connection. Not the exact same story, but the relation was obvious. It also seemed to have aspects of another show I loved, Reaper. Both shows that were cancelled far to early! I enjoyed this book so much I caught myself slowing my reading pace at the end because I didn't want the story to stop."

    " So...this is the first I've ever heard of Piers Anthony even though he's written reams, and I'll surely be reading more of him. The idea of mortals taking up jobs as Incarnations of concepts has huge appeal for me for some reason. Although the present world was more in the background, the juxtaposition of science and magic was great. The book was light and entertaining, with a lot of wisdom thrown in too. Loved it! "

    " it was interesting. After reading Perdido Street Station the story seemed simpler in style and plot. But the plot was interesting and a quick read. I would read more books in this series. "

    " I have no idea how I would feel about this book at age 31, but at approx. age 13, it was the best thing since sliced bread. I remember seeing it out on a display table in the public library and picking it up and not knowing what it was. I devoured that book. "

    " This is one of my favourite books from my teen years, and the series it belongs to is as well. I loved Anthony's interpretation of Death, in this case, as a bureaucratic office filled by a series of essentially 'public servants'. "

    " I've read and re-read this several times and it's still works for me. Probably the most memorable of all the ones in the series next to "For The Love of Evil". I wonder if anyone/fan has written Luna's point of view. "
