3.5
3.5/5
For an long car trip, my husband and I chose yet another Yahtzee Croshaw book. This time a pulp sci-fi parody about a down on their luck spaceship pilot who gets embroiled in a series of events. The protagonist is employed to pretend to be a galaxy-wide famous author and star pilot for a teenagers birthday. As always chaos ensues.
- As always, Yahtzee is hilarious. From a maths based swearing system to random managing pet aliens, there's always something to laugh at.
- The plot feels episodic, almost like it was written for one of those old pulp science fiction magazines many years ago. Each chapter has a twist, a different challenge but linking to the overall plot.
- I found the ending a little underwhelming. Then again, there is a sequel so it's very possible it was just setting up for what happens in that book.
Not my favourite Croshaw book but enjoyable nonetheless. Will listen to the sequel Will Destroy the Galaxy for Cash on our next roadtrip.
