 Review of Norby, the Mixed-up Robot
The novels are mainly the work of Asimov’s wife, Janet, and her style is rather unlike his, which may be the main reason why I am not terribly fond of them.
Norby, it turns out, can travel through hyperspace and through time, which provokes all kinds of complications.
In any event, the Norby novels are among the few Asimov books which adults are not likely to enjoy.

At times, Norby comes across as Nancy Wilson, going over the top in places and not showing much subtlety; on Irving Berlin's classic "Suppertime," tshe does not seem to know what she is singing about, sounding quite upbeat about a lynching....
She is assisted by a strong cast of Americans and Scandinavians (including pianists Dave Kikoski and Joey Calderazzo, keyboardist Lars Jansson, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, trumpeter Randy Brecker and, on "Spinning Wheel," tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker)...
