Light and Trite,
By
This review is from: The Magnificent Wilf (Mass Market Paperback)
I expected a bit more than this book delivered, but not by much. It was humorous in a pretty weak way. Overall, not particularly good SF and the humor was so-so. Very 1940's slapstick space opera (or should that be operetta). It's a more or less entertaining light read if you want something that won't strain your brain in the slightest. If not, don't bother with this one.

A read for tikling those with humorous wits,
By Jacob Watters (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Magnificent Wilf (Hardcover)
Though the book deals with Science Fiction, its purpose is entertainment. Entartain it does. Dickson mixes up the wits of a married couple that serve as Earth's representatives with the rest of the galaxy. He creates a new genrea called Humor Sci-fi. It's surely a pleasant read for any sci-fi fan.

Diplomats to the rescue! At least these are amatuers.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Magnificent Wilf (Mass Market Paperback)
As a long time fan of Dickson's Dorsai books, as well as his Drogon Knight books. I picked up this book for a nice light yarn. As such I wasn't disapointed, but Gordon is only rehashing the works of other good authors and suffers because of it. If you want a good book that doesn't challenge, you get this; if you want a book that pushes you into new thoughts about how to make the world better, try some of Gordon's other books.
