Excellent book. As a compilation of jokes, it’s not necessarily the funniest (although all these sorts of things tend to be hit-and-miss) but that may also be because I tend to read a lot of humor and have seen some of these before. On the other hand, the strengths of this book are not necessarily in the humor alone, but in a couple of unique aspects you won’t find elsewhere. Namely, the jokes are all clean – the level of profanity is extremely minimal, which is a rare thing indeed. Despite this the humour level is maintained. The other unique aspect is that Asimov provides an analysis of jokes and joke-telling that is again rare to find in any other publication. Both of these take the book from being merely funny to being an invaluable resource for the humor connoisseur.
