A nice collection of witty short stories, which is different from the usual Asimov fare. The stories, however all contain the same theme, of fulfilled wishes going awry, and would be much better read a couple at a time, than all in one day or two. Azazel is quite amusingly portrayed, the anecdotes of how the wishes go wrong (and the peculiarity of some of the wishes) are entertaining, and the comments the author makes about himself are interesting. All in all, a fun read, even with the repetition Just think "P.G. Wodehouse". Here is SF writer, Isaac Asimov, showing off his writing talents by imitating Wodehouse in a series of short stories about a little demon whose good deeds turn bad. It's not science fiction, and it's the sort of book to read a chapter at a time when you're having a cup of tea and cucumber sandwiches. Undemanding and lightweight, as Asimov intended. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

First humor book I read from him, not bad. The stories are somewhat predictable and silly, it's a light reading. ( )
