review 1: Meh. Reads like a middle-schooler's attempt at humor. Mention all the things that are silly about something and just see how funny that is! Reminds me of the humor of F. Lee Martinez or maybe flailing comedians. Humor worth reading as literature is hard, but Terry Pratchett ...

review 1: This is the best book I have read in years. If I could write like this, I would feel my life was complete. There are parts where I laughed hysterically, particularly at how the aliens improvise computing power on earth. The second chapter, which describes a man with a hangover wh...

review 1: I have been trying to think of the name of this book for ages. In my head I just remembered something about the SatNav being a trapped demon (of some sort). I love this image because when I was a child I loved the idea of tiny 'people' sitting in robots and changing the light to ...
