I started reading A Spell for Chameleon and enjoyed it so much I've read up to Ogre, Ogre now. I just wish I could find all the books in one place.

Ogre, Ogre has a myriad of magical creatures residing in the land of Xanth: ogres, fairies, nymphs, centaurs, goblins, dragons, dryads, brassies and more. As in a typical Xanth novel, our two heroes, Smash the Half Ogre and Tandy the Nymph Girl, approach the Good Magician Humphrey for answers to their questions. When Smash arrives, Tandy has served the customary year for her answer. Smash, being a normally stupid ogre, couldn't even remember what question he wanted to ask the Magician. The quest for both of their answers pairs Smash and Tandy up on the way to the home of the Ancestral Ogres. Along the way, Smash also becomes the protector of 6 other females with quests of their own. Plot twists occur as Smash battles for his and Tandy's souls in the gourd world from the Night Stallion himself. There are violent battles with several kinds of monsters, and Smash must decide whether to draw upon his ogre strength or his human intellect. It is only after Smash and Tandy reach their destination that they both realize how the Magician answered their questions for the best.

I don't necessarily see how the conclusion of this story makes sense, even in Xanth, but it was still enjoyable to read. I like the orge rhyming speech.

This book is what caused my addiction to Xanth novels (along with whomever I shared the book with). It combines all the characteristics of an amazing series: humor, love, friendship, action. I've read this book over three times and I still can't get enough. I recommend this and every other Xanth book to all fantasy literature enthusiasts!
