A review by davidlz1
And Eternity by Piers A. Jacob, Piers Anthony

2.0

Let me start with this. I had already resolved to give this novel no more than 2.5 stars. The fact that I have bestowed an additional half a star has to do with how well the book redeemed itself once reaching Chapter 12. Mind you, there are only 14 chapters. The first 11 chapters really feel more like an exploration of Mr. Anthony's views on sexuality and morality rather than a story of entertainment for its readers. It just did not mesh. There were certain points interspersed throughout the first 11 chapters that were worthwhile, but they were truly rare. Chapter 12 brings Evil into the fold and that is where the story becomes truly structured and enjoyable. It's like reading something from a legitimate author. Who wouldn't love that?! So, I'd recommend this book for the simple fact that it contains three great chapters at the end. There is one book left in the series focusing on the Incarnation of Night, Nox. I will read it since I have read the series through to its end twice (once when it was destined to be concluded in 5 novels, and again when it was to be concluded in 7 novels). I don't think Mr. Anthony will live long enough to end it again. 8 novels should be it! However, I dread reading about his sexual desires as Nox has a tendency to be 'lust uninhibited'.
