This book is very funny and shows the humorous side of Isaac Asimov. I have read must of his SF books and enjoyed them. But this book is different. It shows the funny side of him. And be beware of friends who want to help you with your strongest wishes, they may come true. :-)

Be careful what you ask for
23. Juni 2002
Von Fred Camfield
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a collection of funny short stories by the author, all about the two-centimeter high demon Azazel (not its real name, but the real name cannot be pronounced easily). Azazel rides about in the pocket of a friend (descended from magicians and able to summon a demon), and the friend narrates the adventures. The problem is that Azazel wants to be helpful, but the wishes people have in mind are not always translated well in their directions. It is like programming a computer - you must be very careful (garbage in means garbage out, or in this case bad or incomplete directions may have unexpected results).
Want to be attractive to women? Done! Whoops, you didn't mean that kind of woman? Afraid of bullies, and don't want anyone to lay a hand on you? Done! Whoops, you didn't mean everyone including your girlfriend? You get the picture. Remember King Midas.

Azazel will blow you away ...
19. April 2000
Von Martin Lebl
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Adventures of this inadequate demon, which is summoned by those, who can't summon more potent demons causes lot of belly shaking humor, which will have you reading the book over, and over, and after some time passes you will recall the good chuckle you had while reading it, and so you will go back, and read it again. Out of the hundreds of books that Asimov wrote in his very prolific span as a writer this is one of his masterpieces, and once you acquire this book, you will not let it go. Trust me.
