Title: Just can't pull it off...
Review: Adams puts a large number of diversions and subplots that add to the ultimate goal of the "Hitchhiker" and "Dirk Gently" Series: exploring human nature through the bizarre. ("What?" I can hear 12-year-olds screaming, "You mean it's not just escape fiction?") Unfortunately, Jones doesn't reach that level, and _Starship_ tends to remain at the silly and shallow.
