Bit of a romp...

4 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this and felt that it was a "Very British Humour" book. Some of it seems to be in bad taste, though it isn't clear if that is as a way of mocking those bad things, or if it is honouring them. I feel it leans more toward mocking than honouring.

This isn't Douglas Adams. It's Terry Jones. But they are compatible. I feel there was another book trying to continue the Douglas Adams legacy which felt rather incompatible. It was trying to honour him, but ended up feeling mocking, because it fell so short of what his style is, while clearly trying to duplicate it.

It's also been a long time since I've read any Douglas Adams.
