Will Save the Galaxy for Food by Yahtzee Croshaw
3.0
Funny, not quite hilarious.
This is light entertainment. The author was attentive to the world he created and to the plot.
The style is not great. Metaphors are thrown in generously in an attempt to make the story funnier, at the expense of brevity and rhythm.
The book is not a satire: the cover rather means « tries to be funny », most likely to attract hitchhikers guide fans.
The lead character’s story arc is somewhat interesting. The other characters don’t enjoy the same effort. The female characters are not flattering to women in general, a bit cringeworthy even for unsupervised male readers.
