I enjoyed this book, but am very surprised it made the “1001 Books to Read..” list. I didn’t find it all that impressive and pretty much just another quirky sci-fi book. I did enjoy the humor and found myself chuckling from time to time. I am planning on continuing the series in the future as it does have promise.

While the book seems to be wildly popular, I did not like it.

I loved the beginning (about chapter 1-3), which were funny and witty. Yet during the travels through space I didn’t consider very funny. While there was somewhat of a plot it seemed to be mostly pointless. However, there was a great twist in chapter 28 (or was it 29?); the book has only 35 chapters.

Overall: good beginning and good end, but a waste of my time in the middle.
