It was light and fun but not great. Probably only for Terry Jones/Douglas Adams fans.

Very cool book, but not quite on the level with the hitchhiker's guide
A silly story that was fun to read. I gave it an extra star for the fact that Jones clearly did not take the story telling seriously, breaking the "fourth wall" (page?) several times.
Jones attempts to emulate Adams' writing style but without the wit, sophistication, or warmth
I have fond memories of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but I did not find Starship Titanic nearly as delightful. It felt like an attempt at an attempted imitation of Adam's style, which I suppose it is being that it was written by Terry Jones. But I never found the novel particularly funny, and I found it a chore to read to the end. Interestingly the book is a novelization of a graphic adventure game released in 1998 for computer, which seemed to be a passion project for Adams and therefore his priority over the novel itself.
