I never thought I'd love a comical book, but I really couldn't put it down. It invokes such vivid mental images of the spaces where the story takes place. It also has some very relevant commentary on the current state of America, which was incredibly interesting. It definitely made me want to read every single Douglas Adams book.

Parts of this book were delightful—the writing—other parts so-so. The storyline was hohum—perhaps because the arc is over several books. Or perhaps it’s just a slice of life thing.

Overall I appreciated the attempt to show a universe different from other stabs at science fiction.

It was entertaining and I just might read the next in the series.
