That was very bizarre. I came in not even knowing the genre, so I was thoroughly confused and surprised. Can’t say I loved the characters cuz most were kind of annoying, but the story was intriguing.

It’s alright. It’s weird and strange and entertaining. But it didn’t really have that charm or that raw charisma that Hitchhikers did. As a result, it was a collection of very odd events told in a unique way with a loose affiliation to the other odd events described.

啊，这种熟悉的味道。“他沉重的无框眼镜几乎是两块实心玻璃立方体，眼睛在里面像金鱼似的独自存在。”或者“众所周知，说到负罪心理压力这个自然资源，戈登无疑是全世界储量最高的矿藏之一，他每天早晨都能送个一吨到你家门口，然而理查德没有意识到自己居然被这种压力控制到如此地步”（戈登是理查德的老板），以及“每天从早到晚被另一种生物骑在屁股底下，你很难不对那种生物产生看法。 然而反过来，每天从早到晚骑在另一种生物背上，你却完全有可能对它们连一丁点想法都没有”（“那种生物”是“电僧”，可以“替你相信事物，也就是相信世界希望你相信的各种事物，省得你去完成这项越来越困难的任务”的人造生物，“你”则是电僧的马）。

Buen libro. Muy distinto del estilo de "La Guía del Autoestopista Intergaláctico", rollo, el humor sigue estando ahí, pero es más frases witty que humor directo.

Los personajes han estado bien, suficiente profundidad para lo corto que es el libro.

El hecho de que tenga viajes en el tiempo es lo que me echa un poco atrás, pero all in all es una lectura entretenida y que está bien. Dicho esto, no creo que lea el siguiente libro de Dirk Gently, al menos de momento.

Fantastic! Utterly and totally fantastic! Perfect to read on a mellow and exciting day!

(Not a fan of how it handled religion however)
