The primary emphasis of the series is on humor rather than cleverness, but Skeeve comes up with some pretty nifty ideas now and then.

I enjoyed the series, and they are now available in ebooks. His Phuel (sp?) series was also a lot of fun. Like a lot of mid tier writers, he tends to carry a series a bit too long. The first 5 or 6 of the Myth series was pretty good. The rest were kind of bley in my personal opinion.
