Negative Positive
Title: More like "Wandering Mess"
Review: With comparisons to Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, and a collection of really amusing testimonials, I was ready to really enjoy this book. I wasn't actually expecting Pratchett, Adams (or Wodehouse, or Verne - all of whom David Garnett is favourably compared to), but I was at least expecting something amusing.I kept waiting for something funny to happen.The only really good part is when Wayne Norton (or John Wayne, or Duke Wayne, or James Bogart, whichever hilarious moniker he is using that chapter) is captured by historians, who question him about ancient earth, and seem to have gotten most of their history from cowboy movies.As far as Bikini Planet, we don't even see the frikken place until about page 230.The endings are all quite disappointing, and don't wrap up half the loose ends, answer any questions, or even have A SINGLE LAUGH IN THEM!!Somehow I did finish the book, though, which is the only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of one.
Is the review positive or negative?
