Summary: funny silly random book
Review: One of the best sci-fi books to come along since Hitch-Hikers, and is in fact vaguley reminiscent of it, in writing style and off-beatness. The friend who reccomended it to me called it "a cross between Hitch-Hikers and Monty Python." That's just about all there is to say about it

Summary: British humor at its best....
Review: For those of you lucky enough to see the British sci-fi comedy, Red Dwarf, this book will brighten your day, 'cause that's how long it will take you to read it. Finally, the majority of the TV series' plots are in a cohesive story. You'll not find a better translation from TV show to novel. This book takes the cake. But don't stop with this one.... Get the sequel as well. You won't be sorry

Summary: This is how it should be
Review: OK this book is "it". I must have read it 3 times in one year along with "Better than Life", "Last Human",and "Backwards". When you first pick it up it seems almost like a Terry Pratchetty(iVE NEVER READ HIS BOOKS BUT I CAN GUESS)sort of book. But it is a brilliant Britsih comedy. It is actually, a modern day comedy book like no other because is is written as a Sit-Com, with the spin of being in space. It is set 3 million years in the future with a regular kinda guy waking up on the wrong planet after being drunk and joining the Space Corps to get Home to Earth. But due to an accident he ends up frozen and wakes up alone 3,000,000 years later somewhere miles form home with a neurotic dead guy, a senile comuter and and A creature evolved from cats. The real good part about the book is the developing relationships betweenthe characters, and how they cope with situations etc... So there it is, five stars..A must read.

Summary: Careful drivers!?!? Oh smeg!!!
Review: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers is the first of the four downright twisted and hilarious novels from Rob Grant & Doug Naylor, the collective British writing team, and their sci-fi/comedy creation, Red Dwarf. This novel covers all there is to know of the first three seasons of Red Dwarf in the best fashion possible: one collective and condensced novel that doesn't lose any of the comical and ingenious writing that the episodes had to offer. The storyline is simple and easy to follow, the subplots and background conversations and meetings are everything that a Red Dwarf fan could ever want. From the first meeting between Dave Lister and Arnold Rimmer on Mimas to three million years in the future, from your own death (and how to cope with it) and disaster, not to mention the crew's desires in "Better Than Life" and their overall hatred with a passion for each other, this book has everything! They say that Red Dwarf is the best thing to hit sci-fi since the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- they were damned right! British comedy is definately among the best in the world!!!

Summary: I Love It!
Review: I'd have to say it: This is one of the best sci-fi comedies I have ever read. The characters are great, the story is funny, and its not too hard to read. If you like Space Comedies/Sci Fi Comedies, this is the book for you!

Summary: Very Very Very Good Except Perhaps...
Review: When Rob and Doug penned together, it was nothing but perfect. Every page, every paragraph offers fantastic reads. But their later works, like the Last Human or even Backwards were a bit stunted. The worst of all is their VII and VIII Red Dwarf saga which was basically a corporate agreement between the two erstwhile friends to try for the Yankee dollar. The sudden drift from excellence to subaverage soapyness is easily explained if one reads the credits. R Grant left altogether and D Naylor brought in his girlfriend to do the all the fun bits, which shows as the show tastes nearly as gross as Friends or Coupling. Mainstream modern and let's not forget very funny indeed American favourite gags about the eternal stupidity of men and the amazing, yet somehow forgotten, brainpower of blond emaciated women with protruding noses. So dilutes this once fantastic work into American, Los Angeles hype slush that can be enjoyed by perhaps the diet-grazing females of the US of A along with their snipped males that are always in their tow with their pathetic confused sexual roles. But save for the castrated fiasco of the recent parts including their big screen try, the former bits are nothing but excellence.
But don't let the debacle of season VII and VIII and the Last Human detract you.
This book IS fantastic and one can read it over and over like a good blue magazine. Enjoy!

Summary: Infinity Welcomes Happy Critics
Review: Just like many other reviewers out there, I can relate to their understanding of how Red Dwarf can be compared to Douglas Adam's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Series. The duo of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor accomplished a supremely hilarious thrill ride of oddities for readers to enjoy.
The basic storyline goes as follows. Our hero....is a complete loser. No real ambition, nothing to contribute to society. Heck...David Lister may not even belong in any humane society! The only thing Lister does seem to have is a strong will to get back to Earth. Yet, on his way back he boards the Red Dwarf and, after meeting a variety of lunatics, he skips three million years into the distant future. Lister also has to cope with a brilliant if absent minded computer, the Cat, a self-absorbed, highly evolved feline, and a robot whose only passion is cleaning and soap operas.
One such lunatic is his roommate Arnold J. Rimmer, whom can only be compared to Frank Burns off the television series MASH. Rimmer fits the part of an incompetent and egomaniacal blunderer so well. The only good thing about this is the reader gets to smile about how far Lister can go to break this man.
Though, this is no book for all science fiction readers. There is some VERY suggestive dialogue paired with swears that would make any nun blush. Be forewarned that Red Dwarf is based on a British television series newcomers to this culture's entertainment may not get all the jokes. So, all of you parents out there take this as your formal warning!!!
As a wrap up, I believe this book is completely relevant to science fiction readers all over the globe and should not be missed. If, however, you do not find my information particularly suited to your needs then by all means disregard it from your brain quickly as we have more room to download your personality on a disk for future storage!

Summary: Huh?
Review: Word of mouth and all the 5-star reviews of this book had me very excited to read this series but... it just wasn't that funny. Nowhere close to Pratchett or Adams, who I find hysterical. The ending was quite depressing. I kept waiting for it to improve (or get funny) on the next page, and it did when I finally finished...
