A short and sweet read from the great Piers Anthony. Hair Suite is the second book of a quirky Science Fiction series. Hair Suits, creatures formed from humans and alien specimens, have established an embassy on Earth and soon find themselves dealing with a foreign species that comes with grave news.

As a main character, Quiti was enchanting and immediately drew my attention. I found her easy to relate to and wanted to dive into the realms of her everyday life, and her incredible hair. Anthony's style of writing works to enchant and I could not fault it in any way. He includes a great deal of action and flirting in this tale, along with scenes of a more intimate nature.

Hair Suite pries into the tragic pasts of its main characters and the journeys they've been on, which resulted in them being brought together with their new-found powers. This was a magical tale of a beautiful species that had merged to form something truly unique.

My rating for this book is 5 stars.

Hair Suite, a novella, by Piers Anthony is the sequel to Hair Power. You do not have to read Hair Power in order to enjoy the sequel. If you have read anything by Piers Anthony, you already know his works are witty, humorous and full of puns. Hair Suite most definitely follows in this vain.

The Hair Suits are a small group of people who have been given extraordinary powers by alien Hair Balls. I am laughing as I am writing this, since my image of a hair ball involves cats and vomit. The puns is what makes Piers Anthony’s work so humorous. Anyway, there is another alien power that has arrived on Earth called Chip Monks. The Chips introduce themselves to the Hairs and form a partnership with them to defeat a third alien power that is headed to Earth and could be a major threat to both the Hairs and the Chips. Together they need to eliminate the threat and save Earth for themselves.

As previously stated, this is a humorous light read and typical Piers Anthony. I would go so far as to call Mr. Anthony’s work the slapstick of the fantasy genre. He is poking fun at numerous things and there are a lot of sexual undertones in the book some might find offensive. It is totally silliness and I had a good laugh. If you liked the Xanith series you will like Hair Suite.

I received a free copy in exchange for my honest opinion. You can find other reviews and author interviews at my blog www.thespineview.com. ( )
