An absolute crazy and welcoming ride

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Wao, let's begin with I haven't read the first one but this one was so cool, it was super funny and it engaged me right away.

A thing that caught my attention was that he wasn't scared of anything, he wrote like he was telling someone a story it felt pretty close actually I liked that the most.

The narrator was crazy, Love it, I dunno how I will like the first book knowing he isn't the one to read it, I do hope that if there's more of this book he will stay with James.

I know want to read the first one, for me this one was a good change of pace and it was so intense and light at the same time, just hear it, it was awesome.

Loved the footnotes on the chapters, made me laugh a lot.

Wonderful

I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. I totally enjoyed reading this book. It’s well written and the characters were uniquely fantastic. I would suggest this book to my friends that like this sort of genera. this was a good book. The auditor was great.

Very like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but...

Well, this was not for me. I love Hitchhiker's Guide, from the original radio series, to the books, to television, to film. Each version is different, and I like all of them on their own merits. And this book was very clearly going for a Hitchhiker's vibe, and the story almost worked for me, but the humor went more crass than I enjoy. (For the record, I didn't actually learn the title until after I was offered a review copy of the audiobook.) To be clear, my threshold for that sort of thing is towards the priggish side. Gags about boobs just make me find a story juvenile, but if you're a fan of Hitchhiker's Guide and don't have similar sensibilities, I'd genuinely recommend you give this a shot.

As alluded to above, I was given a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this review.

A bit convoluted for my taste

I didn't realize this was the second in the series. The author offered to give me the first one free if I sent him a link to this review.
I normally like British humor, this story kind of reminded me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's twisted and there's a lot going on. I wanted to like this book much more than I did and maybe if I had listened to the first book I might have liked it more.

If you like a twisted sense of humor this book just might be for you but if you like an easy to follow plot and a fun story that doesn't involve people getting sliced in half, this might be one you want to skip.

Twisted Tale for an Open Mind

This may be book two of the series but I found it highly entertaining. Nicky Blue definitely has a twisted sense of humor. I loved this listen. It does have quite a bit going on but I followed it all just fine. The footnotes were just as entertaining as the rest of the story. As a few other reviewers said, this does have a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy feel to it but more twisted. Well done Mr. Blue, well done. The narration was excellently done. James Head really brought the story to life. He gave the characters their own voices and emotions. I was impressed with his ability to keep his voice steady (a.k.a. not cracking up) throughout the tale. A wonderful combination that I thoroughly enjoyed and will recommend to my friends.
