I read Evgenys great review about this book and decided that it's just perfect for me. Thanks, Evgeny, for turning my attention to this book ;) The story in Another Fine Myth is filled with humor, puns and it is quick, easy, and a pure delight to read. I swallowed it in one day time enjoying each light-hearted and entertaining page (if not for my work it would have been quicker!). And I definitely had a laughable good time. Its not a serious book with lots of depth, but its quick-paced andAs a culture, we are always looking for the next best thing. Computers, cars, you name it. And, of course, books. Everything from urban fantasy to suspense, young adult to horror. Sometimes, though, what is New isnt what we really need. Instead, what is Old is new again, or rather, it should be!I just listened to Another Fine Myth by Robert Asprin, and narrated by Noah Michael Levine. First printed in 1978, I found the series way back then, and have the whole collection in paper. Recently,
I read quite a few of the books in this series several years ago. I remembered enjoying it then, so I thought I'd give it a re-read now and see if the magik was still there. Indeed it is! Another Fine Myth is a highly entertaining light read that I couldn't put down.The story revolves around the adventures of a young magician's apprentice, Skeeve. Skeeve is a likable character, if a bit naive and the misadventures that he gets into with his friends are a magical romp through a universe of magik,

Ready enjoyable witty fantasy, pure silly fun but with warmer characters than other satire I've read.The story begins with a poor thief turned apprentice magician Skeeve who meets a 'Pervert sorry Pervect' demon called Aahz, who was summoned to jazz up one of Skeeves's lessons. After the untimely demise of his own teacher Garkin, Skeeve becomes Aahz's apprentice and so begins their amusing adventure to avenge Garkin and set the world right. The only odd part of the whole narrative for me was
Short and fun! It's very much proto-Pratchett in its way of telling its story while affectionately mocking fantasy tropes with lots of humor. When a wizard summons a demon and gets murdered in the process, his apprentice is left to solve the murder with the help of said demon... who turns out to be an extradimensional lizard with the sardonic wit and canny intelligence of Sam Spade. Seems there's a Big Bad about who needs stopping, and our demon has a dozen tricky plans to do it. This twosome
If you crave for a new taste in fantasy-comedy (other than Discworld) and you're willing to ignore the plot that seems like a fifth grade stage play, unbelievably gullible paper-thin characters and the most incompetent villain in the history of the genre, there might be something for you here. Myth's sf/f plane-hopping setting and whacky characters that communicate almost exclusively in comedic (often hilarious) banter has a certain unique charm that immediately grows on you, making you forget
Unabridged audio.Skeeve was a magician's apprentice, until the magician got killed that is. Unfortunately he was killed by an assassin just as he summoned a "demon". "Demon"-that's short for "Dimensional Traveler". Things just go from bad to worse once they find that he (the Dimensional Traveler that is, the demon) is stuck in Skeeve's dimension, a real backwater. See as I said, Skeeve is just an apprentice. The "demon" (Aahv)instead of killing Skeeve explains that he is a wizard in his own
