Piers Anthony is a strange creature

. I most of his books in paperback and paperback and some in ebook. I was a fan of his in middle school and high school.
His EARLY EARLY stuff is really good. Then, he hit this point where he had a bunch of good ideas but only the first book in each series was reasonably well-written and then things sort of fell apart. Finally, he got to the point where even the first book was bad.
I don't think he's total trash...there's two trilogies he wrote that I really liked, and my adult uncle liked at the same time:
Orn/Ox/Omnivore and Var the Stick/Sos the <something - rope?>/Neq the Sword.
The same couldn't stand any of PA's Xanth books
