This was definitely a very very different kind of book but not in a bad way. Its hard to explain or even really find something that is similar enough to compare it to. It was fun, and quirky, though a little slow at times, but definitely worth the read. It had me laughing at points and frowning in sadness at others and I will definitely be reading book two. If you like sci-fi and you like slightly more quirky humor I would definitely recommend this audio book. I have no idea if reading it would be as fun because Ray Porter does such a great job voicing this that it brings it to life in such a way that I am not sure simply reading the written word would.
