Summary: wildely creative
Review: Douglas Adams and Terry Jones are among the most humourous authors out there. From the beginning to the end this book is both funny and it does keep you on the edge of your seat. Turning the page in this book is like turning a corner, you find something new each time. Although some parts in the book are rated R, and even X, it is still a good book to read. The language in some parts is a bit more than one could hope for, but if you look over that it is a very funny, and exciting book. Leoventus has made a huge technologicular advance, and has created the Starship Titanic. But, when he changed work crews to Blerontonians, the work became very shotty, and the day before launch the ship is not at ALL finished and his Titania is a mess! From there everything gets too crazy and it would be hard to explain. There is a talking Bomb, which is very nice, and some crazed rabbits (Terry Jones for ya), and small men, that strangely enough remind you of lawn gnomes. This book is smartely written, and very creatievely written, so when you plunge into this book, be prepared for the unimaginable and unexplainable. Mark_Sigel

Summary: Another sinking!
Review: While I thoroughly enjoyed the Hitchhiker series, I found this story most lacking in the wild lurches of plot that sustained the humor of Adams' other series. I have the computer game and I'm not certain it's any better.

Summary: disappointment
Review: I have other books by Douglas Adams and by Terry Jones. I was fired up to see both authors on one title. But this book was lame! The charsacters are annoying, the plot is pointless. Uggh.

Summary: seems like all the negative reviews are of the wrong product
Review: I haven't yet tried it out, but the CDROM version of Starship Titanic, which is (as the Amazon reviewer points out) a game, not a book, has gotten rave reviews in the New York Times, many PC magazines, USA Today, etc. That's why I was surprised to see all the negative reviews here... but it appears they are all reviews of the book by the same name (which I believe was written after the game was released and so is a sort-of novelization).

Summary: sell-out
Review: 1) That you read this in one sitting is no recommendation. You also read the back of your cereal box in one sitting--in which case, at least, you have something to chew on. 2) So it's unfair to expect Douglas Adams? Then why does his name appear at the very top of the cover in very large letters (in letters significantly larger than those in which Terry Jones's name appears at the very bottom of the cover)? Given "Starship Titanic"'s marketing, it is perfectly fair to judge it by Douglas Adams's standard, but however you judge it it's awful. 3) On the other hand, some persons actually profess to like it. I can only suggest that not every Douglas Adams reader is capable of actually appreciating Douglas Adams, that some are merely pretending. Do NOT pay money for this book. You have been warned.

Summary: ugh
Review: The unkindest cut of all is that no one has yet pulled the plug on this...um...thing...and yet "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency", Douglas Adams's best novel and one of the most cleverly constructed novels I've ever encountered (including classics such as "Tom Jones"), is actually out of print. Why? Why? Why?

Summary: Awesome book
Review: Entertaining book. The characters are likeable and real (even the robots). Jones does a good job of satirizing different types of people and situations. As an ex-travel agent I found the parts where the characters were trying to upgrade true to life, which just made them even more amusing. The sex 'scenes' were laugh outloud funny - those who think they were excessive probably don't get the joke and need to meet some typical slobbering college boys ;o). Here's hoping they make a movie of it one day! If you like Monty Python you'll love this book.
Rating: 
Summary: Not smegorific or zarking great, but pretty good all 'round
Review: The only things wrong with this book are an overdose on tantalisation and imperfect character development, but aside from those this book is great. I'd give it five stars if there weren't that little bit too much sex in it, but there is, so I won't.

Summary: Funny book
Review: I thought the book was very funny and entertaining. There's also an amazing coincidence, my name is Nancy, I'm 19, and about to major in Art History, you have to read the book to find out why that's a coincidence.
