Summary: An excellent start to a great series of books
Review: After an all night monopoly board pub crawl, dave lister awakens on one of saturns moons with no idea of how he got there or how to get home.

Realising he has no work permit and no way of getting one, dave decides to start his own kind of taxi srevice. He soon realises this isnt working, so he signs up for a five year journey on a mining vessel.

His adventures start here, as he falls in love, survives a radiation leak and end up as the last human in the universe, 3 million years from home. This is the start of a classic series of books which will kepp you laughing for hours.

A must read for anyone who likes sci fi and/or comedy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a terrific book!
Review: I first discovered Red Dwarf the series two or three years ago, and I have been hooked ever since. A lot British comedy is ignorance and slapstick, but this is one of their shows that really shines. When I heard that there was a companion book, I bought it immediately. Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers is one of the funniest books I have ever read, and it lets you get a lot more history on the main characters than you get on the show. It stays true to the show while putting a certain comical twist on it that you can only get with the written word. For anyone who loves that show, and wanted to learn more about Rimmer and Lister, I would definitley recommend this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Smegerific
Review: It's a combenation of smeg and more smeg with a little smeg thrown in for free! Smegerific Red Dwarf Smegathon! For any Red Dwarf fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent: The Definitive Account of the Small Rouge One
Review: A must have for all fans of Red Dwarf. Grant and Naylor expand on their scripts in illuminating and sometimes surprising ways. A great account of what life was like aboard the Dwarf before that nasty accident: ever want to know how Lister joined Space Corps or why Rimmer failed all those exams, or how Holly occupied himself for 3 million years? But even for those who have never seen the series, this novel stands on its own, with definite shades of Kurt Vonnegut: "It sounded like a nuclear wind roaring down the corridor toward him. It was, in fact, a nuclear wind roaring down the corridor toward him." and Douglas Adams. But it has the pathos that Adams often lacks. Grant and Naylor do the impossible: they actually make you feel sympathy for Rimmer. If you like Red Dwarf, and/or Vonnegut and Adams, you'll love this novel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book is Very Funny
Review: The first book in the Red Dwarf series, this book introduces people to the Red Dwarf series. It is extremely humorous and is a must read for fans of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and other sci-fi comedies.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book is better than life
Review: Lister, a drunken, semi-illiterate space bum, wakes up after a pub crawl in a locker on a moon where his only possesion is a passport in the name of Emily Berkenstien. As odd as this may seem, it's nothing compared to when he is marrooned 3million years from Earth with a dead man and his pet cat's semi human decendant.

This book, and the rest, go beyond the ever popular TV series by giving mostly confusing background and alternatives to the show...

One of my favourites......

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great fun in an easy read.
Review: While not as magnificent as the series it's often compared to (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), this is a creative and very funny Brit-humor sci-fi adventure that is sure to please anyone with minimal interest in sci-fi and/or a wry sense of humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We're groovin' tonight! Ahead, groove factor five, yeah!
Review: The first Red Dwarf book is the only really good one. In a fashion similar to the Hitchhiker series, it takes events from the TV series, liberally dotted with differences and inconsistencies. It's these new parts that make it worthwhile, even for those familiar with the sitcom--and it's quite funny. Better Than Life doesn't even come close, and you would be well-advised to assiduously avoid the third one, Last Human. It's truly a travesty. The forth, Backwards, is the second best of the series; if you have to read another, look for the British import of that one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I loved it with one small problem.
Review: The book was fabulous and I loved the way they talked about the Cat civilization, they ought to write more on that, but I didn't like the last section "Earth". Maybe I'm just weak but I don't like doubting my own exsistence. If I don't read the sequal soon I may have nightmares intil I see how their, Better than life, game ends. But please don't let that keep you from reading that,just have the second book on hand. That was the low point, but it did have some really great details on how Lister came to be on the Red Dwarf.
