There Goes the Galaxy by Jenn Thorson
3.0
I am beginning to realize that not every sci-fi comedy book deserves to be referred to as "like Douglas Adams". Even though this is in the same style as Hitchhiker's Guide, it was not that great. For me, one of the big problems was that it got bogged down in all the silly names for the characters and places. That detracted from the story more than it helped.
The basic story is that an earthling, unaware of the existence of other life in the universe, is taken into space and tasked with saving Earth. Hijinks ensue. The story was good, but the book just didn't excite me that much. It took me a month to finish because I was not eager to pick it back up when I had the chance.
