A review by qalminator
Douglas Adams's Starship Titanic: A Novel by Terry Jones
2.0
About what I'd expect from a Monty Python player writing HHGttG fan-fiction. I was hoping for a bit more. There are individual segments that are quite entertaining, but, taken as a whole, I was supremely underwhelmed. I paid $1.99 for this, and I feel like that was one dollar too much. I had about 99 cents of fun with it.
I think my biggest issue with this book is that I never really cared what happened to any of the characters. All of them except Dan were so ludicrously over the top that I couldn't take them seriously. Dan was just boring (and probably intended to fill the Arthur Dent role). I cared enough to think the rearranged relationships by the end of the book were a good thing for all involved, but that's about it.
Side note: if this were aimed at, oh, 10-12 year-olds, it might work better. However, there's enough on-screen sex (however vaguely and supposedly humorously described) that it's clearly not aimed at that age group.
So, overall? If you liked HHGttG and can find this for cheap, you might find it mildly entertaining.
