Everybody's favourite science teacher wakes up in a galaxy far gar away and sets about saving humanity with the help of a singing spiderthingy

3.5 rounded up for Christmas.

First off I thought this was infinitely better than The Martian. I laughed a lot, not sure if I was supposed to, but this is a comedy right? Grace was an interesting character, at first I thought his “jovial” nature would annoy the hell out of me but as the story progresses it actually works really well. The story itself is pants on fire ridiculous but strangely compelling and the bizarre ending? Well I quite liked that too I think that sums this books up quite nicely, I quite liked it.
