Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic by Terry Jones
3.0
This book was not entirely unlike Douglas Adams’ books. I enjoyed Terry Jones’ Monty Python work, and the combination of that and Adams’ name attached to it I was expecting it to be great. However, it didn’t live up to those expectations. It was fine, but it didn’t quite have that charm that you’d expect from something actually written by Douglas Adams. I feel like it relied way too much on sex jokes, which are fine in moderation but that was most, if not all, of the jokes in this book.
The story itself was pretty interesting, and I actually liked most of the characters (except Lucy who the worst). It took a little bit to really get into it, but once I settled into the story it was entertaining. The story of three Earthlings flying through space on a doomed starship and trying to figure out how to get home would’ve been better in Adams’ hands, but was fine in Jones’ as well. Could’ve absolutely been better and funnier, but I wasn’t displeased with it.
