Summary: Azazel will blow you away ...
Review: 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.

Summary: Mixed Bag of a Good Series
Review: I love the George-and-Azazel stories, but not all of them are of the highest quality. I'm glad I read this particular volume, but it's not something I'd recommend you to run over hill and dale looking for. I actually like the Azazel stories in Magic: The Final Fantasy Collection a little better, and you can find it in most libraries.

Summary: Good piece of detective story
Review: Isaac Asimov is quite well known translator from Japanese to Russian. He conducted life of intelectual indulging himself only in his job and writing some high-brow pieces of literature, not for ordinary people. And then he decided to do something with his skills and wrote Azazel, his first detective story. It's great, with atmosphere dating back to Doyle and Christie. And it's not only intriguing, gluing, interesting, thirillind, crisp etc. but also perfectly written with a hand of Russian intelectual.

Summary: A fantastical collection of stories.
Review: Mosst of the stories in this collection are intriging and most are a bit on the dark side. Asimove is one of the true Grand Masters of sci-fi, but these stories are not quite (close), to his usual high standards

Summary: Be careful what you ask for
Review: 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.
