Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Substance: As usual, the morals of the story are positive (believe in your friends, support the home team, don't judge by appearances, and others), but the story itself is thin. The puns are OK but not outstanding. The personalities are fading to bland, and the social interchanges are even more than usually pat and trite. Derivative and depressingly juvenile, as opposed to fresh and junior-reader-friendly. (Most long running series have this problem in the later stages, even aside from the author's personal considerations.) Style: If not part of a popular series, it wouldn't make a ripple, even if it could get published. no reviews | add a review

If you're curious about Skeeve's physical description, it's given in this book.
Walter Velez is the artist for the cover that two Pervects showing a portrait of Skeeve to a Djinn. Chumley stands by the Djinn. Is the female Pervect meant to be Massha? If the male Pervect is Aahz, why the red beard and eyebrows? The background does not appear to be the inside of an enormous mall.
Myth-Taken Identity is a pleasantly amusing book with which to while away some time. ( )
