This has been a book recommended to me multiple times over the years, and it was worth the read. Once the action starts, it doesn’t really stop. There are constant little quips, all ridiculous, that add to the humour of the book. I wouldn’t say this is as funny as Good Omens, as this book is more silly than witty. Although there are some magnificent quotes from the book.

There is not much of a structure to the book’s universe, so it is hard to guess what will happen. Not much will make sense, so I would say this is not a book for everyone. If you are willing to go with the flow, this book is a huge adventure.

It’s worth the read if you want a silly sci-fi comedy.
