so-soIt's probably more a result of a a cozy rainy Sunday after a busy Friday and Saturday, but I found myself nodding off repeatedly while reading this. There was a plot, not too much nonsense, and some sharp satire about faith without reason...I can deal with a con man that is relatively harmless or possibly psychic, I can get into a computer programmer who likes mapping the world in music, 1/?
Robotswithpersonality 2/? and I love a little old professor who does conjuring tricks and has an unusual relationship with time. There was a spot of violence and violent intentions I wasn't expecting, the ghost lore feels more introduced than explored, but where it all really falls down is that my copy had a cat on the front cover and a mention of a cat on the back and very little cat content, no actual cat characters present, in the book. Bad advertising, for shame! 5mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 I think Adams wanted it to be something a little more than silly, and I was looking for silly, and I'm not sure either of us got what we wanted. If I approach the rest of the series as sci-fi-fantasy-mysteries with a surrealist satirical twist I'll probably have a better time of it. 5mo
