Audio Book Reviewer | Aladdin Relighted by J. R. Rain and Piers Anthony

The depth to his voice definitely drags the listener into the story, whether they want to listen or not. Aladdin Relighted though, did not need so much of a compelling, intense voice. It worked but in some places it was strange. Maybe it was that the story was strange as well.

Aladdin - Intro

The plot and characters are funny and kept me entertained though! This was my first Piers Anthony. It was easy to get into but hard to stay with. As a kid I was always making stuff: I was the mother of all nerds. Anyway, I think I was searching for the one thing I wanted to keep on making for the rest of my life.

You as the reader were asked to make choices for the characters. Choose Your Own Adventures were a lot of fun and I just had to make my own. Just think, I could have been hooked on making Easter baskets. In high school, I was a fine balance of jock and nerd. I played football and baseball and somehow managed to write five complete novels. So how was I able to write so much and play sports and study at the same time?

In college, I still managed to write two books and over 80 short stories. Even with all the kissing. Eventually, I graduated with a perfectly useless degree in anthropology, got married two weeks later, and shortly thereafter started my career as an insurance claims investigator. At the age of 28, I landed one of the biggest agents in Hollywood. I discovered that I had a natural knack for writing screenplays. For the next two years I worked exclusively with Paramount Pictures and Alphaville Productions developing various movie and TV projects.

Ultimately, I realized I had strayed far from my true love: And so, with a little bit of money in the bank and some time on my hands okay, fine, I got fired from my insurance job , I moved to Carlsbad and wrote three books: Being married to a dreamer is tough. Being married to a dreamer and a writer is damn near impossible. Yup, you guessed it, after seven tough years my wife was gone, baby, gone. I eventually met another girl poor thing , and together we moved up to Seattle.

Things turned ugly fast. I lost my job, my car, my money, the girl, went bankrupt, and yet somehow wrote THE MUMMY CASE in a freezing cold basement in the middle of a rainy winter, unemployed and stealing food usually donuts from local grocery stores. In , I moved back to southern California to help with my sick father.

So follow your dreams, my friends, even if it means living on a faraway island in the back of beyond….

Mostly reading, puppies, and how we react to the world around us.

Psychology is a huge part of my learning and recently I have been excited by psychological thrillers. Of course after reading them I have to scan social media for cute pictures of pups and cats!

After the death of his wife and son, King Aladdin abdicated and disguised himself as a thief and procurer of items for hire. A beautiful woman named Jewel hires him to help her rescue her son from the clutches of her evil husband who is planning to sacrifice her young son.

What turned me off was the attitude toward women and sex. Jewel was everything I hate in women characters written by men. She used her sexuality at every chance she got. Every time they got into a fight, she disrobed and flashed the men, and stunning them with her beauty.

I kid you not. With Aladdin he was always talking about his impotence and there was this weird point where he kept insisting that his disguise be as a eunuch. I read the first page of the next book, and the sex talk started from the very first page, with a discussion on him taking a concubine. Now, I am giving the book 3 stars since beyond the nails on chalkboard stuff, there is a fun story underneath. I do love the Arabian Nights setting and the magic of the genies is a wonderful thing Faddy was especially a wonderful character with his insistence on calling Aladdin master, even after Aladdin ordered him not to , and venturing into the land of the djinn was very imaginative though it did work up to a threatened rape scene.

I was not too sure when I first read the preface but am glad I decided to purchase this trilogy. The stories, while light reading, are interesting and entertaining if a little on the short side. Sinbad the sailor and the Thief of Bagdad are added to the stories. If I have one disappointment, it was the author's portrayal of the Aladdin character which often was shown to be less than intelligent, compared to the other characters and at times almost stupid.

Not what you would expect of a ruler of a Kingdom who carries the name of Aladdin and who survived most of his earlier life using only his wits.

See a Problem?

However, this point does not detract from the overall story telling and adventure. This is an amazing idea, poorly written. Peirs Anthony's later work is always about sex, anyone who reads his work knows that, but the older he gets the more the stories seem to obsess about sex and divert from the story.

I was hoping that this being a collaboration, we would see some tempering of that. An enjoyable quick read. It has a modern feel to an old setting. I especially liked Alladin's step son, an aspiring young magician. As of this review, there are just the three--don't know if there will be more or not. The third book wrapped things up very nicely.

The writing is a little immature in some ways but I was willing to overlook that. If you want an entertaining light read for the summer, this is it. If you are looking for something that is deep, look elsewhere. One person found this helpful. However, it was far enough away from the generally accepted Aladdin myth at least here in US that I recall from childhood, that it was not quite as interesting to me. I prefer this authors earlier works to this set of books, but for the price of the electronic versions, well worth the purchase.

Another amazing series by J. His work is amazing and you won't regret purchasing this box set!

Aladdin Relighted

One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful. Still I enjoyed it enough to read all three books. The sex play is sophomoric, but then I am sure the authors knew it was. A bit of self-parody going on here. I really enjoyed this trilogy. The stories are not particularly intellectually tasking: The characters are, at times, absurd, but.. If you like Piers Anthony, which I do, you will enjoy these adventures. See all 34 reviews. Most recent customer reviews.
