Doug Naylor

I always like the humor of Red Dwarf!

I first saw this show on a VHS copy of a VHS recording of, probably, a PBS broadcast; this would have been when I was in 8th or 9th grade, maybe 199...1? 2?

A week ago I saw this book, having popped into a used bookstore that was having a big clearance sale. It's as silly, campy, and purely entertaining as I remember it. For me, 4 stars for the walk down memory lane, alone.

Just about as good as this genre (humorous sci-fi) can get. Not quite as poignant as Douglas Adams at his best, so not quite five stars. Read it on your holiday or on your commute.

I don't understand why neither of the Grant Naylor duo can just write an original novel. Apparently I was supposed to subject myself to Backwards first, but I read that it has even less original content.

So I'll give his one extra star, because some of the original stuff was decent despite the vast problems with the writing.
