Myth-Nomers and Im-Pervections (1987)

Skeeve discovers that he's not as grown up as he thinks he is.

It's an OK book. Nothing to write home about. Seems to be more about fan service as a number of fans have parts within the work. (They even break the fourth wall to let the reader know that they're fans.) ( )

MYTH

I absolutely adore this book. Skeeve's visit to the mysterious and anti-social world of Perv is hysterically funny. The nastiest and most dangerous dimension isn't even safe against the insanity that follows Skeeve. Following along after his partner Aahz, Skeeve travels to Perv hoping to be able to find the trail of Aahz.First he gets in trouble with the police for being polite and one thing leads to another until the same kind of trouble that follows Skeeve everywhere collides with some of the local population. Some fabulous characters are introduced and we finally get to see the Skeeve of old. ( )

The writing was solid, but I found the whole book annoying. Skeeve goes off to find Aahz, goes to Prevect which is much like New York, theres a few spots on pontification about how bad cities are, and Skeeve finally acts like an adult, that is until Aahz is found and starts ordering him around. I finished it, but only because the writing was simple enough and the story moves fast. ( )

Demon dummy spit.

Skeeve is living it up as the head of his own little corporation doing magic stuff, and things are going along nicely. That is, until he has a falling out with his demon mate. Aahz is really actually rather useful, but now he has pissed off home. This takes the lad out of his comfort zone, and back to the dimension of Perv. Imagine Cheers, filled with Demons and a few other oddities, and you would about get it.
