This book wasn't as humorous as the description sounded. It certainly isn't up there with Hitchhiker's Guide or Firefly in terms of witty sci-fi. The middle sags a bit as every encounter seems pretty much the same. They meet weird aliens, things go badly, they have to fight and run until they can smooth things over. Lather rinse repeat. Anyway, it didn't make me want to read any future sequels.

That is all. ( )
