Refusing to listen to Rincewind's claims of nondemonic origins, Eric commands that Rincewind grant three wishes for him.

"You were worried that we were never going to see Rincewind again, weren't you? That's okay, so was I. He's not out of trouble though. Never, that would be unlike Rincewind. This time he's called from the dungeon dimension by the Discworld's first hacker demonologist, Eric. He is a teenager with his acne and dreams of adoration and power-provided that everything continues to work properly. Of course, they will not, but kids can have their dreams...until they end up in Hell with the King of the Demon's on their tail. Hell, they find is rather unlike what they had expected. Will Eric make it back home to relax and put to bed his childish dreams of ruling the world consequence free? Will Rincewind manage to get out?"
"A fine early work by Pratchett that has 2 of my favorite reoccuring characters, Rincewind and Death. This is a very short story that parodies Faust, and Dante's Inferno. The story is a bit choppy and contains a few holes in the plot. Rincewind lost in another dimension at the end of Sourcey is brought back to us having been summoned unitentially by a 13 year old boy. The laughs and mishaps ensue."
"This is one of the shortest Pratchett books I've read. It reads really fast. I'm not a huge fan of Rincewind or the stories that feature him. His character just doesn't appeal to me. The opening was funny and I liked that, but overall the book was largely forgettable - standard fare. The humor is Pratchett's normal satirical style and occasionally biting. Nothing stands out in this book for more. Quick read and good if you need a Discworld fix or are just trying to read the entire series."
