I really, really like this one. It's funny, has great characters, plays with the "Fourth Wall", is a paradoy of every Sci-Fi TV-show and movie ever made and proposes some really interesting philosophical questions. :)
I really liked the idea that these characters are real and are influenced by the Narrative of a TV-show and a lot of ridiculous and stupid decisions are being made. The law of physics don't really apply anymore and common sense is non-existent. :D And when they figure out what's the reason for this behaviour? Wonderful!
I liked the time travel back to when the show is being filmed and them meeting the actors who are playing them and finding a solution for everything. :)
The whole time I've been laughing a lot and just generally enjoyed reading the main story. The three codas? Well, they were good and interesting but in my opinion don't really fit to the rest of the book.
