On a Pale Horse

the incarnations of immortality series of books is very well written and weaves a nice universe. each book ads to the story and the universe spanning the ages as magic and technology become more intertwined throughout the story. the first book starts this off with the main character being a loser and as such tries to commit suicide. then he kills death and gets his job. what follows is an interesting ride of intrigue and a little romance. though now that I'm older it feels more like a tween book due to the subject matter it still holds a certain appeal even to this day.

This book is the reason I was able to pass senior English in high school. Was absent the day topics were chosen, death was all that was left. So my brother in law recommended it. This book also is the reason I enjoy reading so often now, it exposed me to the fantasy realm. The other books in this series are excellent as well.

I read this at the recommendation of a friend about 10 years ago. I was critical of the concept as he explained it to me. I was critical of another friend who was a Piers Anthony fan back in 95. I was always a Star Wars fan boy... what I was missing, This book completely blew me away! The idea of Incarnations of Immortality to explain things supernatural is awesome. Being a fan of science fiction and mythology, I found somtething not only in Piers Anthony's Incarnation series making it re-readable year after year, but even in his Xanth series, I just can't put away his books for too long! Death has a conscience in this blockbuster story. Please won't someone make a serious set of movies from these books!
