"Now I understand why they invented television, he thought as he splashed cold water on his face and neck. No hangover."

This is an excellent follow-on from the first book. The chapters are short and light, so it's perfect for a quick read, and the introduction of more people from our world adds spice and flavour to a formula which could've gotten old quickly. The technical programming side of things is as deliciously funny as ever, probably more so as things are already established. This isn't a book for epic character development, but there are messages here if you care to read them and the whole world is still beautifully painted.
