Comic science fiction is tough for me to get into. Once you read Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy there aren\u2019t a lot of books out there, and so I thought I\u2019d read this one. It is a pretty new book, so it has all the diversity\/pronouns\/etc. which still feel shoehorned into stories these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just like stand-up comedy, so acts will make you laugh, and some get on your nerves. I guess the rule follows in writing comedy as well. I wasn\u2019t really vibing with the punchlines in this book, and rather than intellectually clever it felt like they were trying to be clever with pop culture references. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m sure some people will enjoy this one – it just wasn\u2019t me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I am re-reading The Watchman by Robert Crais. There is a couple week gap in the flow of library books right now – so I\u2019m picking up old ones that I really enjoyed in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
