Pretty good but it got way too convoluted towards the end.

Ich liebe die Bücher von Martinez und Terror der Tentakel schafft es ernsthaft an mein Lieblingsbuch von Martinez (Zu viele Flüche) heran zu kommen.
Die wahnwitzige Story, der herrliche Humor, die skurrilen Charaktere und der flüssige Schreibstil haben mich auch wieder begeistert.
Auch wenn die Perspektive des Ich Erzählers für mich neu war aus Martinez Feder, so hat dies der Story nur gut getan.
Danke auch hier wieder das jedes Kapitel so eine Liebevolle Umrahmung mit Tentakel erhalten hat, und das auch hier wieder die gnadenlos lustigen Widmungen von Martinez übernommen wurden.
Ein Buch nur zu empfehlen für alle die Martinez sowieso schon lieben und all jene die auf Storys mit Witz und Wahnsinn stehen.

Funny intergalactic story with a villian as a main character, an alian with a big intelligence and a super dangerous but cute centipede :D liked that.

The performance of the narrator really helped this book. His ability to make the characters truly distinct should be applauded. He could have used better material to perform with. Not that I expected a sci-fi classic, or even top-notch humor/satire from this book. The story was entertaining enough though.

Very satirical and reminiscent of A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

A Lee Martinez's books all follow a pretty basic formula: a cast of quirky characters find themselves in a universe-ending crisis and attempt to resolve it under the leadership of a protagonist who resents the fact that he/she is the protagonist all the while, sprinkling in some great jokes and general silliness. That's also a formula that usually makes his books pretty damn enjoyable, and this one was no exception. Lots of fun, this one.

good but not Martinez's strongest piece. I figured out the ending way too early.

Wishing I could do 3 1/2 stars. I suspect for many it's a case of love this or hate this. I've found it hard to classify (and rate) but I suspect this book will stick with me for a long time to come on account of its quirkiness.
My analogy doesn't serve the fact it is a well written book, but the best description of this book - a B grade pulp sci fi movie - where it knows what it is and has fun with it and does it very well.
