review 1: I don't think I share the British sense of humor. Slightly amusing maybe, never compelling, very repetitious. I kept wading through it waiting for the funny part. Just read the blurbs and maybe first and last chapter and you've got it all. Not interested in rest of trilogy at all. Sort of wish I was, but...life is short. I can only fit in about 100 of the 280,ooo+ books formally published yearly, so off to something new!
review 2: Perhaps it is poor timing and I'm not in the mood but I really didn't like this. I can see why someone would and it did raise a smile in places and I do like the overall idea, but I didn't quite click with the execution. It is quite repetitive (and again, I can understand that that has a point to it) and it is depressing; the
... moreput downs, the impending sense of gloom, the narcism, it all feels rather self indulgent and pretentious. Perhaps one to pick up again another time... less

Two 'friends' waiting in hope/fear for the apocalypse to wash away their failure and dislocation.

Spare and hilarious. Perhaps if a combination of Beckett and Vonnegut was an academic.

Yeah, I'm too stoopid for this one too.
