I just finished reading his Xanth series last month and I would have to say
it was one of the better science-fiction/fantasy serieses I've read in a
while.  He's got quite an imagination and his sense of humor (levity?) isn't
bad (I especially liked 'Dragon on a Pedestal' in this respect; Princess
Ivy was great in her role as the 'innocent manipulator').

I do have one gripe about the series.  Anthony listened too much to his
readers and went out of his way to stick their puns into his stories
(especially the later books).  I felt they were getting a little out of
hand.
