Title: The old Myth is mything
Review: Since Robert Asprin teamed up with Jodie Lynn Nye, the stories have really taken a hit. Asprin's stuff was light-hearted and fast-moving - these are drawn out and plodding. Asprin included modern concepts like credit cards, computers, and novelty items (Rubber Doggie Doodle with Realistic Life-Like Aroma That Actually Sticks to Your Hands!) as props, just enough to get some fun and a bit of satire out of them; Nye appears to want to build an entire story around them and milk them for every nuance - in this case, computers and televisions. C'mon, a recitation of the exact win/loss ratio of someone playing computer solitaire? Boring! Sadly, I got a third of the way into this book and found myself wishing that they'd hurry up and just get it over with.
